About the Pub
The Queens Head is a characterful property on a main road into Wellingborough and is very traditional in feel with plenty of cosy corners providing a great place to meet, drink and eat. The pub has become known for cask ales, premium lagers and a traditional pub food menu. Currently operating from two distinct bar areas each with approximately 40 cover, the pub has a very traditional feel inside, each bar has a separate snug room and is in good decorative order. There is space for live music and historically has been known for its strong following of live sports, with plenty of viewing opportunities throughout the pub which would not interfere with the pub food trade. Externally, there is a covered courtyard for the smokers, and the large garden to the rear is one of the only pub gardens within the town of Wellingborough. The private accommodation is extensive, and is located over two storeys with four bedrooms, a lounge and kitchen. The Queens Head would suit someone with an interest in sport, is keen to develop teams, and has a passion for real ale. The ability to use online media skilfully would also be useful, in order to attract new customers to the pub which is surely one of the most charming in the area.

Regional Manager's Thoughts
The pub has a glowing reputation in the town for being a safe and welcoming environment suitable for all age groups. The new publican would need to be able to mix with a wide range of customers and provide offers to suit all. Some interest in sport is essential and the ability to use online media and be creative in marketing to attract new customers would also prove useful in order to develop the business. With this in mind there is plenty of potential to grow the current trade. Popular as a place for watching the latest sport, the pub has also provided live music in the past and its small kitchen could further develop the pub food offer. This is a great opportunity for a new starter looking to immerse themselves in the local community.
Surrounding Area
Wellingborough is an affluent market town that is only 11 miles away from Northampton. It has grown into a popular commuter town for those working in London as it is only an hour away from the capital with excellent railway links. For this reason, Wellingborough has been identified as a town that will have steady growth in the coming years. The Queens Head itself is just off a major junction into the town and enjoys a prominent roadside position. The immediate vicinity surrounding the pub is a mix of residential and commercial buildings, creating the perfect hotspot for the local community.
