*Your Opportunity to Create Something Special – Flexible Tenancy or Short-Term Option Available!*
Are you a lively and energetic host? Do you love sports? Looking to run a pub with letting rooms? If so, look no further than the Peacock.
Pub and location
Nestled on the main road into Towcester, The Peacock is perfectly situated opposite The Monk & Tipster pub, making it a prime location for attracting locals looking for a night out or to visit pubs in their local area. This establishment is well-loved sports haven, with 11 TV screens allowing for you to show multiple games simultaneously, drawing in sports enthusiasts year-round. We are looking for a Publican who loves Sports and will use these screens to attract like-minded guests.
The Peacock fosters community spirit through its football, pool, and darts teams, while also hosting live music events on weekends, ensuring an enjoyable atmosphere for all visitors. The seven letting bedrooms provide basic but well-priced accommodation, ideal for contractors and tradespeople in the area, all sharing two bath/shower rooms.
Upon entering The Peacock, you’ll find the bar centrally located, with the snug on the right, known as the racing zone, which features the racing channel and a cosy cask ale corner. On the left is the general sports zone, equipped with a pool table and darts boards, leading out to a charming courtyard patio garden that also offers a designated smoking area. The pub is well-appointed with TVs throughout and flexible seating arrangements to accommodate groups of all sizes.
Towcester itself is a vibrant market town filled with attractions, including the renowned Towcester Mill Brewery, the historical Towcester Castle ruins, and the Towcester Museum. Located just 15 minutes from the iconic Silverstone race circuit and the Silverstone Museum, this area has strong tourist appeal. As the administrative headquarters of the South Northamptonshire district council, Towcester holds a significant place in local history, being one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the UK, known as the Roman town of Lactodorum along Watling Street (now the A5).
This is your opportunity to take the reins of The Peacock and transform it into a cherished local pub, enhancing its community presence and tapping into Towcester’s rich history and vibrant atmosphere.
