The Empire is a community pub catering to the locals. The aim is to have the best community pub in the area by utilising the space in the pub for all occasions but focusing on live sports and teams. The pub should sit at the heart of the community so there is potential to offer family fun days, charity nights and hiring out areas of the pub for parties such as wedding anniversaries and milestone birthday parties. We are seeking a new licensee who will engage with the community by offering something for everyone. We would work with all potential feedback from any applicant and would consider a refurbishment with the right licensee.
