Overview

Are you looking to run a rural, high-premium, earthy pub with a local following in the heart of Whickam? If so, look no further than the Crown.

Pub and location

Take the reins of a traditional and welcoming pub known for its friendly atmosphere that is easily accessible and central to Whickam’s activities.

Now is a fantastic time to take over. Why? We have undertaken a significant refurbishment, enhancing its interior to provide a comfortable and relaxed environment. The spacious upstairs area is particularly notable, with fantastic space for gatherings and events.

Guests love the pub for its wide selection of beers, lagers, craft ales and wines at competitive prices. While it previously featured real ales, recent updates indicate that real ale is no longer available, but there is scope to reintroduce this.

The key talent we are looking for from the five-star publican for this pub is a host with the most. Why? Entertainment is the cornerstone of The Crown’s appeal. The pub hosts live music, discos, and karaoke sessions on weekends, creating a vibrant atmosphere for guests. Sports enthusiasts enjoy live events broadcast on multiple screens, including Sky Sports and TNT Sports.

The downstairs trading area boasts a large bar with fixed and loose seating and a raised eating area that doubles as a stage for live music events – extremely popular with guests. You have loads to play with in this diverse business.

Ideal Publican

We’re looking for a Publican with bags of energy. You will restlessly seek new reasons for guests to visit your pub. Here, you’ll need to listen to your community and what they want from their pub, always providing a consistently high service standard.

We’re looking for a sports and live entertainment enthusiast with banter and the care to know what their locals drink, where they sit and which teams they support.

Optimising the use of the function room and driving new footfall by advertising your events on social channels is so important here. Do you have the desire for a challenge and to realise this gritty pub’s true potential? If so, get in touch.
