Lease A Pub In Hinckley – The Woolcomber Is Available
The `Wooly` is situated 2 miles from Hinkley town centre, in its most affluent suburb of Burbage. The pub is a traditional 1960s built community pub occupying a huge prominent corner plot with a large car park in the centre of a housing estate mainly privately owned. The area within a mile of the pub is densely populated with over 26,000 people living there, the largest social group being made up of people from the comfortable community’s band.
Pub Layout
The pub has a car park to the front for over 50 cars and at present is partially covered with Astro turf which can accommodate 20 picknick benches. To the rear is a more traditional safe enclosed pub garden with a pergola producing both shade and cover for drinkers.
The pub has 2 main trading rooms of a similar size, a traditional bar, and a lounge. There is also a smaller third licensed trading room with a separate entrance to one end. The pubs main entrance leads off the car park into a lobby with the main toilets to the left and access to the Bar and Lounge. The bar has harder wooden furniture as would be expected with a pool table darts run and plenty of seating. The bar lends itself to vertical drinking and looks out over the front of the pub. Both trading rooms are served by a central bar ideal for keeping staffing levels low as both bars can be served simultaneously. The Lounge has softer furnishings both fixed and loose along with bar stools along the servery and windows overlooking the rear garden and large double doors giving access to outside.
The third room was originally an offsales hence its separate entrance and is situated at on end of the bar servery, the current licensees do not use this room at present. A small trade kitchen is adjacent and access to the rear enclosed yard and cellar that is below ground and extremely large and easy to work in.

Opening hours are currently dictated by our current licensees from 4pm onwards in the week and all day at Weekends. The draught drinks offer is small and targeted to its current customers. Sports teams such as darts and pool are popular as is the weekly karaoke held on a Friday night. The early doors trade is often bolstered by local trades people calling on the way home from work. No food is currently on offer however recently a pie and mash offer was successful and fresh cobs are still served from behind the bar in large numbers.

The Woolcomber, Hinckley
The Woolcomber is an existing opportunity for a new licensee to build on an already well-established solid community pub retail offer. The current licensees have traded the pub for 13 years and this is not an opportunity to be missed.
The pub should trade as a community pub with teams and encourage families specially to use the outside area. It should hold some big outside events each summer and have a travelling pop up food offer at weekends in the warmer months. The creative use of the small galley kitchen to have a food offer is also key. Teams and sky sports would be a huge benefit. It should draw people out of Hinkley as it is a very short drive away and hold a prominent main road frontage.
