Pub Overview

A £130,000 investment is planned to transform the Horse & Groom. What would you do with this pub to make it a success?

The Horse & Groom offers a great opportunity for someone who wants to take on a well-backed, newly refurbished pub with plenty of potential.

The area

The Horse & Groom is located in Rearsby, Leicestershire. Rearsby is a village known for its rich blend of industrial history, particularly in aviation and automotive manufacturing, alongside notable historical landmarks. It sits close to the city of Leicester in the Charnwood district and offers good access to local amenities and countryside.

Rearsby is a peaceful village in the Charnwood Borough of Leicestershire, characterised by a high rate of home ownership, an older population and a strong community spirit. There are approximately 1,034 people within a 10-minute walk of The Horse & Groom and around 2,030 within a 20-minute walk. There is no competing pub in the immediate village.

The offer

The Horse & Groom is available on our investment tenancy agreement. Click here for more information on this agreement.

This scheme will breathe fresh life into the great foundations it already has, attracting more people and creating a true hub of the community.

The Horse & Groom will appeal to multiple customer groups including couples, families, drinkers and diners. It will operate as a local pub while also pulling people in from surrounding villages. Following the full refurbishment, the pub will offer a stunning venue with a real community feel and spirit. With a well-marketed offer, quality product, a wide range of drinks, and live music and events, it will provide something for all and become a true hub of the community.

We’re always open to new ideas. What would you do to drive trade at The Horse & Groom?

If you’ve benefited from running or owning a pub business, we’d love to hear what experience you can bring.

The right operator for the The Horse & Groom will have extensive experience in community led hospitality businesses. They will have a clear vision for their food & drinks menu, entertainment offer and marketing strategy and can create a memorable experience for their customers.
