Overview

Are you looking to run a well-loved pub in Whittlesey, Peterborough? 

Pub and location

You’ll be taking the reins of a pub in the heart of its community. The open plan aspect makes the pub feel like a family community place, and the kitchen has fantastic equipment to support current and future demand.

You’ll discover a long, central, L-shaped bar inside that gives complete visibility to the main lounge and the side seating area used for food service. The pub has developed its food offer and delivers a smaller plate option, enhancing the revenue as locals have requested this option for some time.

Guests love the Straw Bear for watching live sports and joining the crowd that enjoys all types of games.The beer garden is a fantastic space. It’s also large enough to host a marquee, so functions are a realistic option to enhance sales in future.You’ll discover a good-sized car park to the side of the pub and a large L-shaped beer garden – a lovely sun trap.You can access the letting rooms to the side of the pub externally or through the lounge internally.Whittlesey is a market town, benefitting from fantastic transport links and a vibrant fishing lake attraction. The pub resides in a large estate surrounded by many chimney pots.

Ideal operator

We’re looking for a new operator who is naturally warm, approachable, and genuinely enjoys being part of a close‑knit community. The ideal candidate will be someone who can build strong relationships with locals and visitors alike, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment guests walk through the door. Experience in managing letting rooms is essential, as this role involves ensuring high standards of hospitality, cleanliness, and guest satisfaction.

This pub already benefits from a well‑loved and successful food offer that suits the local market perfectly. We’re seeking a talented and motivated Publican who can maintain the quality that customers expect while also bringing fresh ideas to enhance the current business. With strong leadership, creativity, and a passion for great service, the right operator will have the opportunity to continue the pub’s success and help it grow even further as a valued hub of the community.

Private accommodation

We have identified a scheme to create a two-bedroom manager’s flat.
