A Village Pub with Food, Functions and Community at its Heart
Planned Investment
The Red Hart has recently benefited from refurbishment works, including improvements to the external décor, lighting and signage, helping to enhance the overall look and feel of the pub.
The Pub
The Red Hart is a well-known village pub located in the heart of Misterton, offering a strong food and drinks business with a reputation for home-cooked meals, events and community activity.
The pub is arranged around an open-plan trading area that comfortably accommodates around 90 covers, supported by a catering kitchen and a food offer that has helped establish the Red Hart as a popular destination within the local area.
A standout feature is the large first-floor function room, providing excellent flexibility for celebrations, private events, meetings and community gatherings. This creates an additional opportunity for an operator looking to broaden the appeal of the business and drive trade throughout the year.
The Red Hart has built a strong following through its programme of themed evenings, quiz nights, darts, pool and community events, creating a varied social calendar and plenty of reasons for customers to return.
Outside, the pub benefits from a spacious beer garden and a customer car park with space for around 24 vehicles, helping to support both local trade and visitors to the area.
Location
The Red Hart sits in the centre of Misterton, a village located between Gainsborough and Scunthorpe, with a population of around 2,200 residents. Positioned directly opposite the village church, the pub occupies a prominent position within the local community.
The area also attracts visitors staying at nearby caravan and camping sites, helping to support trade alongside the village’s established customer base.
Ideal Publican
This opportunity will suit a community-minded publican or partnership who enjoys becoming part of village life.
Someone who can build on the pub’s reputation for home-cooked food while making the most of the function room, sports and community events will do well here. Experience hosting celebrations, local gatherings and private functions would be beneficial, alongside the ability to create reasons for customers to return throughout the week.
A hands-on operator with strong local engagement, good standards and a passion for hospitality will be well placed to maximise the potential of the business.
Accommodation
The pub includes private on-site accommodation, comprising of two bedrooms, a kitchen and a lounge.
