The Royal Oak

About this opportunity

Ever fancied running your own pub but think it’s out of reach?

It’s not.

If you’ve been in hospitality for years — leading shifts, smashing service, holding it all together when the bar’s three deep — and thought “I’d love to do this for myself someday”, well… this could be your moment. At Everards, we are bringing over 175 years of hospitality experience into a different type of agreement.

This is on offer for one pub - The Royal Oak in Rothley, a great pub in a cracking Leicestershire village — in a way that gives you all the joy and ownership of running your own place, with a lower financial barrier and more support to get started. It’s a slightly new path we’re exploring — one that gives the right person a structure alongside the freedom to lead the pub day-to-day and is fully backed by the usual Everards support.

We provide the framework — you bring the passion.

You’ll get:

  • A fully equipped, ready-to-roll pub
  • Stock, tools, and systems all in place
  • A support team behind you from day one
  • Core costs covered (think building, fixtures & stock)
  • A guaranteed income, plus the potential to earn more based on performance

It’s not a job. And it’s not a loan. It’s a true partnership — built on trust, shared success, and support when it matters most.

You’ll be a great fit if you:

  • Are fired up about pubs and proper hospitality
  • Lead from the front and love being hands-on
  • Know how to create a pub people love coming back to
  • Want to grow a business, but appreciate having structure and backup
  • Are ambitious, driven, and ready for the next step — even if you never thought it was possible before

Why The Royal Oak, Rothley?It’s got everything going for it — a welcoming layout, a great garden, and a loyal local community that loves a good pub. With the right person at the helm, it could become the beating heart of the village.And with this model, it’s a genuine chance to get into running a pub with less risk, more support, and all the energy and values that Everards stands for.
