Horbury boasts high-class establishments, primary and secondary schools, with convenient transport links via the M1 motorway. The town is located north of the River Calder, three miles southwest of Wakefield and two miles south of Ossett with a population of approximately 15,032.
Pub Layout
The Shepherd’s Arms features two distinct serving areas. The bar area accommodates around 20 people and includes TV screens for live sports. Additionally, there is an annex room with a large pool table and darts board, making it an ideal space for sports teams. The second serving area is divided into three sections, primarily used as a dining area with a capacity of approximately 60 people. On weekends, this space can transform into a stage area for live performances. Refurbished in 2022, the pub looks beautiful internally with both bars enhanced by open fires, which contribute to the atmosphere and ambiance. The pub also includes a fully equipped catering kitchen located to the right of the bar. Externally the Shepherd’s Arms boasts ample outside space at the front and rear, which offers potential for further development, though it has not yet been utilized to its full capacity.

The Shepherds Arms is an amazing opportunity for an experienced and knowledgeable licensee. An established and strongly performing business with great potential to grow from its current position, it requires an individual or couple to really take this pub to the next level. This is an amazing opportunity for a licensee who will engage with local groups, charities, and organisations which can significantly enhance its appeal as a community hub.
