With huge screens, top-tier entertainment, great food & drink, and an unbeatable atmosphere, our Grandstand pubs are built for people who live and breathe live sport. We don’t just show sport - we live it. From matchdays to live music and big sporting moments, Grandstand pubs are where local communities and fans come together, and where your next partnership could start.
Take on a thriving Gloucester pub now, with major CAPEX investment landing early 2027 to transform it into a high-energy Grandstand sports venue. We’re looking for a sport-obsessed operator who can build the atmosphere now—growing trade, driving live sport occasions, and getting the business match-ready ahead of relaunch.
This large, well-located pub sits close to the town centre with a strong community following and great footfall. Two bars serve a lounge and main trading space, alongside a busy function room and beer garden—giving you plenty of ways to drive sales across the week.
Already doing £9k per week with a lively mix of regulars and weekend sport/entertainment trade, this site has real upside. With big investment incoming and sales projected to grow significantly, this is your chance to turn a strong local into a go-to sports destination.
We’re looking for an experienced, sports-driven Pub Partner who thrives in high-energy, wet-led environments and knows how to create standout guest experiences week in, week out. Previous food experience is essential, with experience operating branded food offers a strong advantage. You’ll be commercially focused, confident leading large teams, and passionate about using sport, atmosphere and great hospitality to drive results and make your pub the place everyone wants to be.
What’s in it for you?
- 22% share of weekly sales (excluding VAT) plus a guaranteed annual retained sum of £25K (released weekly)
- Low ingoing costs, deposits starting from £5,000 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 (*a fee may be payable for some services such as garden maintenance)
