Overview

Are you looking to run a well-loved pub in Whittlesey, Peterborough? Look no further than the Straw Bear.

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 TNT 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.

We also have an investment planned. We will replace the bar countertop, upgrade the back fitting, decorate the trade area, and complete the garden scheme, including a timber structure with festoon lighting.

Ideal operator

The new operator needs to be a people person and enjoy community life. You’ll also need experience of running letting rooms.

The site comes with a talented team in situ. Therefore, the new operator can hit the ground running.

There is a popular food offer here that’s perfect for the market. We’re seeking a talented Publican to maintain what is in place and add to the already successful business.

Private accommodation

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