RUN THE HONEYSUCKLE, NEWPORT
Your Local Partner Opportunity
Overview: The Honeysuckle is a well-loved community local in Newport, offering a lively Your Local Partner opportunity in a strong town setting. Just a short walk from Haberdashers’ Adams Grammar School and Harper Adams University, this wet-led pub already attracts a great mix of students, sports teams, local regulars, the agricultural community and retirees. With current weekly sales of around £4,000 and plenty of personality, The Honeysuckle gives the right operator a brilliant base to build an even stronger Newport pub.
The business: This is a proper local pub with a warm, familiar feel and different spaces for different guest occasions. The lively pool room is popular with student clubs, while the relaxed bar area works well for regulars looking for a friendly place to meet. Outside, the refurbished beer garden adds real appeal, with covered seating, TVs, lighting and heaters creating a strong space for sport, social occasions and relaxed outdoor drinks. The pub currently trades as 100% wet-led, with well-established midweek trade driven by the student crowd.
The opportunity: There is clear potential to grow The Honeysuckle by building stronger weekend trade and creating more reasons for guests to visit throughout the week. Live sport, student nights, pool and darts, quiz nights, karaoke, entertainment and community events could all help increase footfall and strengthen the pub’s reputation as a lively Newport local. With links to the wider community, local teams and nearby university trade, this Your Local agreement has plenty of room for a confident operator to make an impact.
Who we’re looking for: We’re looking for a confident, visible pub partner who loves being at the centre of a community pub. The right person will know how to create a warm welcome, keep the atmosphere buzzing and tailor the offer across the week, from lively student nights and live sport to quieter afternoons with loyal regulars. If you’re a natural host with energy, ideas and the confidence to bring people together, The Honeysuckle has all the ingredients to become an even stronger local favourite.
What’s in it for you? You’ll receive a 20% share of weekly wet sales, excluding VAT, and keep 100% of the food sales. Low ingoing costs start with a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal cost, with deposits varying by business. Accommodation is included, with most bills covered apart from council tax and TV Licence.
Ready to take the next step? Run The Honeysuckle and build on a lively community pub with strong student trade, loyal regulars and a brilliant refurbished beer garden in Newport. If you’re ready to bring fresh ideas, grow weekend trade and create a proper local that people return to week after week, we’d love to hear from you.
