The Gate Hangs Well

The Gate Hangs Well is an attractive-looking pub that sits on the river Wreake on the outskirts of Syston in Leicestershire.

The pub has a lovely beer garden which is very popular with families in the surrounding villages. It puts on many events for the local community to bring everyone together which it has been doing successfully for years.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to really get involved and be part of a welcoming community.

The pub has the potential to grow as a business and would suit someone who can develop areas including the function room, outside space and fields.

Syston is a great little town, full of independent businesses, some high street names, plenty of housing, and good schools. It is an excellent part of Leicestershire, with the beautiful Watermead Country Park on its doorstep which opens up an extraordinary space for walkers, ramblers and families to visit. Syston pulls in visitors to the area daily for many recreational reasons.

So, if you are looking to take on a business that still has lots of room to grow and somewhere you can truly put your stamp on, we would love to chat.
