The Queens Head Lichfield .
Overview
If you are interested in running your own pub business, the Queens Head in Lichfield is available now.
The Queen’s Head is a historic pub very close to the centre of the city of Lichfield. The pub is a single room tap house style pub with an upstairs catering kitchen which may lend itself to an own food offering (although there isn’t food served currently). The pub enjoys an excellent location next to a busy office block, near the centre of the city and next to the main Premier Inn servicing the city. The City centre location means there a wide range of guests using the pub currently, with a strong regular guest trade through the day leading to your typical city centre mix towards the evenings. The pub benefits from a sun terrace which is well maintained and ideal for keeping guests when the sun makes an appearance.
Summary of pub sales, customer demographics and growth potential
– Average weekly sales is £7,000 and 100% wet sales currently
– Varied customer base of locals, tourists and town visitors and evening drinkers.
– Great sales growth potential through a well plan Rhythm of the Week and a small food offer
Who are we looking for?
Ideally an established landlord / landlady with a strong real ale back ground capable of creating an inclusive local pub feel in this City Centre pub. Character, charisma and extremely high standards will win the race in this pub. This is a great place to live, Lichfield is an extremely sought after postcode. The pub has a great reputation locally, this business has been very well maintained, but lacks a compelling offer of activities and entertainment for the variety of clientele, and reasons for guests to visit.
The site currently takes on average £7,000 in drinks only sales but with a good rhythm of the week of activities and a small food offer this pub could take £10,000+.
