An NCP car park is situated to the side however most people walk to the pub. Whilst there is no external drinking area, upon discussion with our licensing team and with the local authority, this is something that we could apply for.

Trading style
The pub enjoys strong support from a dedicated customer base, fostered by the current licensees who have upheld its reputation for over a decade, providing a solid foundation. Currently hosting pool and darts teams, the addition of Sky Sports would enhance the pub’s appeal. Moreover, there’s an opportunity to introduce a more structured weekly schedule, incorporating events such as quiz nights, board games, and regular entertainment to further engage with locals.
The Duke of Rutland is suitable for both an experienced licensee and someone new to tenancy, having some experience in a similar-style pub would be beneficial. An understanding of running a pub, from managing staff to handling finances is required. Knowing the local demographics is crucial. This means understanding the community, their preferences, and what would appeal to them in terms of drinks and events. You must have the skillset and ambition to plan and deliver a varied marketing plan and great standards are essential.
