Bird in Hand
The Bird in Hand in Blidworth is a traditional village pub in Nottinghamshire, positioned on a prominent main road with countryside views and clear scope for further growth. This is a strong pub partnership opportunity for an experienced operator or community-minded partner looking to run a local pub business with Marston’s.
The pub currently takes around £6,600 per week, with sales sitting at 100% wet. There is a clear opportunity to introduce a simple and consistent food offer, while continuing to build drinks trade, pub sports and local events. The layout includes three trading areas, a central bar, catering kitchen, large car park and beer garden overlooking open countryside.
Blidworth is a well-established village community, and the Bird in Hand already has appeal with local residents, surrounding villages and pub sport customers, particularly through darts. We’re looking for a hands-on pub partner with good standards, local marketing confidence and the ability to build regular trade by creating a consistent, welcoming local pub.
What’s in it for you?
- 20% share of weekly wet sales, excluding VAT.
- Keep 100% of the food sales.
- Low ingoing costs, starting with just a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal cost. (*deposits can vary dependant on business – ask us for more details*)
- Accommodation included with most bills covered, except the council tax & TV License.
As part of our application process, we use Lily, an AI-powered interviewing assistant to support the early stages of screening. Lily helps us move quickly, keep things flexible for you, and create a more consistent candidate experience, but one thing you should know – all hiring decisions are still made by our people.
