Run a Stonegate Pub - Fox & Hounds Lincoln, Lincolnshire

About the Pub

The Fox and Hounds occupies a prominent position on the Newark Road, just under a mile from the A46 junction and on one of the main routes into Lincoln. It is adjacent to Hykeham Sailing Club and there has been substantial executive style residential development in the immediate vicinity allowing larger passing trade. The Fox is a two-bar operation with two main trading areas, a lounge to the left is used dominantly for catering and dining, with approximately 40 covers and access to the garden via patio doors. To the right is an area with a pool table that caters to local sports enthusiasts. There is a patio area that has great kerb appeal located to the front of the pub providing approximately 30 covers, ideal for enjoying an afternoon drink during the summer months. The spacious accommodation boasts three-bedrooms, a lounge and a kitchen, all in good decorative order. Stonegate Pub Partners are seeking a new retailer who can further develop the wet trade with great quality cask ales and attract new customers to the Fox and Hounds with quality traditional pub food offer and warm atmosphere.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

The Fox and Hounds has a large area set aside for dining and a well-equipped catering kitchen with a good reputation for food. The pub is popular for sports and games therefore building the pub teams to compete locally in darts, pool and football will be essential to further enhance the local trade. I am looking for a food experienced publican who is driven by volume, quality and standards.
