Could you run this Broseley pub?
The Duke of York is a well-loved local pub nestled on Hockley Road just off the High Street, Broseley in Shropshire. With an opportunity to be well known for delicious food and cask ales, the Duke of York has the scope to suit everyone’s tastes.
The Duke of York should be popular for its events, including quiz leagues, Sports sponsorship and have a real family focus, especially around the newly upgraded beer garden . This pub should be a true community hub, where locals come together, boasting a spacious bar area where guests enjoy playing darts and socialising.
The spacious and traditional bar area oozes character. Here you’ll find comfortable seating, a large screen TV, a darts board, and a gaming machine. Guests enjoy the warm glow of the feature log burner fireplace all year round.
The dining area sits slightly away from the main bar with a warm, cosy feel that features a wood burner. It is the perfect place to enjoy traditional homecooked pub grub.
The location
You’ll find Broseley south of the River Severn near Ironbridge, seven miles from Telford and 35 miles North-west of Birmingham. Broseley is a market town in Shropshire. Situated on the banks of the Severn, forming one side of the World-famous Ironbridge, its history is awash with tales of an industrial past.
Broseley is also home to the world-famous Salopian pottery and has been the centre of the British pipe-making industry. It’s also famous for its stylised brown-red brick colour, produced locally.
Visitors enjoy the beautiful Benthall Hall, a historic manor house (National Trust), and church. Any walk around Broseley will reveal to you the workings of an early industrial town and the area’s heritage. You will capitalise on the appeal of a historic town with two museums that are part of the Ironbridge Gorge Museums Trust.
Accommodation
You’ll discover three private bedrooms, a kitchen, and a lounge.
