Could you run this Egham pub?

Are you looking for a pub with a diverse guest base and a spacious beer garden? Have you a record of creating live entertainment to meet the needs of students and locals? If so, look no further than the Holly Tree.

Planned Investment

Subject to full approval, The Holly Tree will benefit from a comprehensive refurbishment of both the internal and external areas of the pub. Internally, the main bar and toilets will be fully refurbished, with redecoration carried out throughout and the introduction of new furniture in the bar area. A new back bar will be installed to enhance the display of drinks, alongside new flooring across the entire trading area.  In addition, the on-site accommodation will be increased to include three bedrooms and will be refreshed with full redecoration and new carpeting where required.

Externally, the beer garden will be significantly improved with new flooring laid throughout and extended further into the car park, complemented by new outdoor furniture and the refurbishment of the existing external booths.

Pub and location

The Holly Tree pub is a unique gem just a stone’s throw from the Royal Holloway University and a heartbeat away from Egham and Windsor. It’s a thriving community hub bursting with potential for growth and creativity.

As you enter, you’ll feel the warmth of a grand fireplace, which divides the open-plan trading area into three inviting spaces, perfect for creating intimate atmospheres for guests. The long bar services these distinct areas, providing a seamless experience for guests while allowing you to craft unique vibes for each room—whether it’s cosy evenings or lively gatherings.

The pub boasts a spacious beer garden with ample seating and a stylish open-sided marquee sitting atop an astro-turfed yard ideal for summer entertainment. You’ll have the perfect setting for summer soirées or winter warmth.

The Holly Tree is already known for its fantastic atmosphere featuring a pool table, sports TV, and lively entertainment, from karaoke nights to live music events and disco parties.

Ideal Publican
