Let A Pub In Hinckley – Run The Woolcomber !
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 picnic 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 off sales 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.
Private Accommodation
Consists of three bedrooms large family bathroom sitting room and kitchen. The flat feels large, light and airy and is situated above the pub with separate entrance.

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. Admiral Taverns are eager to carry out a refurbishment here with the right licensee on a long term agreement.
