*Your Opportunity to Create Something Special – Flexible Tenancy or Short-Term Option Available!*

Take the reins of a recently invested thriving pub in the heart of Ruddington!

Pub and Location

The Red Heart sits proudly in the centre of Ruddington village, surrounded by a fantastic drinking circuit and a welcoming community. With its spacious beer garden and stylish trading areas, this pub is perfectly placed to be the go-to venue for locals and visitors alike.

Ruddington is just six miles from Nottingham city centre, offering excellent transport links and an affluent demographic. This is a prime opportunity to run a successful pub in a cracking location which has recently benefited from a 200k investment.

Ideal Publican

We need an enthusiastic, entrepreneurial operator who can make this pub the beating heart of the community. You’ll bring energy and ideas to host regular events, create a vibrant atmosphere, and deliver a strong food offer alongside a quality drinks range.

If you know how to market a venue, engage with locals, and run a busy operation with great standards, this could be the perfect fit.

Private Accommodation

Enjoy newly refurbished private accommodation featuring three bedrooms and a lounge, giving you a comfortable base to run your business.

About the Agreement

We’re looking for a passionate individual or team to make this pub the beating heart of the community. With Punch, you’ll have the backing of a progressive pub company and a tailored support package to help you hit the ground running.

Your Options:

✅ Flexible Tenancy Agreement

Our Flexible Tenancy gives you the freedom to run your own pub with confidence. A tied agreement of up to five years, where you’ll benefit from the drink products available to Punch which also offers flexible notice periods. We offer flexible deposits, tie‑release options, and pricing structures to help you shape your business in a way that works for you.
