Property details
The Red Lion is located in the South Derbyshire village of Repton, a lovely village nestled between Derby and Burton Upon Trent. The village is renowned for the prestigious Repton School and is lively with activities centered around the institution. Situated around 25 minutes from the M1, and just 2 miles from Willington Train Station. Repton is a picturesque village and is a fantastic starting point for beautiful walks to the surrounding Derbyshire Hills. The town's mix of historical charm, community spirit, and modern amenities make it a delightful place to visit or reside.
The front of the pub offers a warm welcome and greets you with carefully placed hanging baskets and external lighting, giving the pub curb appeal from day to night. Upon entry to the pub, you will see the large, L-shaped, wooden bar spanning across the whole trade area, the wooden beams on the roof give the pub a cosy, rustic atmosphere. To the right of the entrance, there is a dining area seating approximately 15-20 covers, featuring a cosy log burner for those colder evenings and television. There is also a small corridor here, providing access to the toilets, cellar and private accommodation. To the left, the pub has been extended to add additional floor space for busy periods, this room still provides access to the main bar servery, complete with a pool table and seating for a further 10-15 covers.
Double doors lead out from the extension to a good-sized car park and a large external rear drinking area.
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a kitchen, a lounge, an office, and a bathroom.

Trading style
The pub is currently predominantly wet led with 10% of sales being food, the current food offer consists of pizzas, burgers, and grazing platters. With two other pubs in the village well known for food, The Red Lion has taken the opportunity over the last few years to establish itself as a true, quality village local pub. The pub plays a key role in village life and attracts a strong local customer base with regular pub activities, music, and a great pizza offer. The pub has a strong premium drinks range and is well known for its choice of cask ales, especially Bass – which is an important ale to sell in this area.
The pub is available due to the planned retirement of the current licensee and represents a fantastic opportunity for the successful applicant to build on the foundations this licensee has built and further drive the pub forward. The landlords are looking for an excellent operator with a good knowledge of the area to take on The Red Lion. Maintaining a small food offer and a steady rhythm of the week will be crucial to this pub's success, as well as the sale and maintenance of the pub's Cask Ales.
