The pub and location

The Sun Inn on Derby Street is looking for a talented publican to take the reins. Just two minutes from the Shakespeare North Playhouse, this pub is packed with character and charm. It has a unique multi-room layout, a central bar with 300-degree access, and a cosy front lounge with a real fire that draws people in during colder months.

Inside, you’ll find three distinct spaces. The main bar is the social heart of the pub, featuring etched windows and a cast-iron pillar. The rear room offers a quieter spot for small groups. Outside, a newly renovated courtyard beer garden stretches toward West Street, perfect for sunny days and dog-friendly gatherings. The pub benefits from on-site kitchen facilities that present an exciting opportunity to introduce a small but impactful food offer, with scope for investment in new equipment to fully realise its potential.

There’s live sport on TV, a dartboard, and a jukebox to keep the energy up. The Sun Inn attracts a mix of locals, including groups like the bellringers, and is known for its friendly, attentive staff.

This is a pub with soul, style, and serious potential. If you’re ready to run a place with personality, the Sun Inn is waiting.

Ideal Publican

The Sun Inn needs a publican with energy, creativity, and a strong sense of community. This is a role for someone with entrepreneurial flair; someone who sees opportunity in every corner and knows how to turn a great pub into a local favourite.

You’ll be the kind of person who loves bringing people together. Whether it’s hosting events, building relationships with nearby businesses, or creating a welcoming space for regulars and newcomers alike, you’ll know how to make the pub feel like home.

With a well-equipped kitchen at your disposal, you’ll be confident designing a simple, cost-effective food offer that draws people in during daytime hours and quieter parts of the week. You’ll understand how a smart menu can boost footfall and keep customers coming back.

Live sport is part of the Sun Inn’s DNA, so you’ll need to be switched on to the full calendar, not just football. Rugby, darts, cricket, F1, you’ll know how to make every match an event and every fan feel welcome.

If you’re ready to take on a pub with charm, character, and serious potential, the Sun Inn is waiting for you.
