Property details
The Black Horse is a detached rendered, brick building located in the quintessential village of Foxton, home to families and commuters. Foxton is a small village near the A6 trunk route approximately five miles from Market Harborough and 10 miles southeast of Leicester, in the county of Leicestershire. There are local bus services to both towns and the village itself is on the Grand Union Canal, a short walk from the local Foxton Locks attraction. There are two public houses in the village, a village hall, and a primary school with Foxton being serviced by Market Harborough train station which is approximately three miles away. London and Birmingham can also each be reached by train in approximately 50 minutes. A traditional village with 200 houses and around 450 residents, Foxton is generally affluent and well-heeled.
Having been extended in several places over the years, the Black Horse now boasts two main different trading zones. There are two entrances to the trade areas; the main entrance leads down from the large car park into the lounge bar area which is efficiently set up for dining, as it connects to a vaulted extension with 60 covers. This in turn leads out to the beautiful gardens and a terrific patio area, partially covered by a stretched tent and festoon lighting, with benches and heating and there is also an outhouse that is set up as a tea room. The second entrance is located to the front where you will find the main bar servery straight ahead which is well set up for drinking, meeting friends, and enjoying a beer with some sport on TV. There is a compact but well-equipped trade kitchen located at the rear of the pub in between the trade spaces giving great access to both areas and this is also where you will find the customer toilets.
There is a lounge, three well-sized bedrooms, a small office area, a kitchen, and a bathroom situated in the private accommodation.

Trading style
The Black Horse is the hub of the village and has a strong dining offer to attract customers from outside of the immediate village vicinity. Food is a must, and traditional hospitality is the key to success here. There are strong cask ale credentials and well-ranged wines and spirits available, and hero dishes for key trading periods such as Sunday lunches are vital. The outside area is brilliant and is a huge attraction in the warmer months. The latest gem here is the separate building, most recently used as an artisan baker and a tea room – a great addition during the busy tourist season.
An amazing opportunity for an experienced and knowledgeable licensee, the Black Horse has it all. An established and strongly performing business with great potential to grow from its current position, it requires a well-qualified and funded individual or couple to take this pub to the next level. The Black Horse is already a successful village pub however the new licensee will need to have exceptional retail and customer service skills, a passion for fantastic hospitality, and a keen interest in serving the community, supporting local events, and understanding the village needs as well as delivering a really strong traditional food offer.
