The Royal Oak

14 Cross Green, Rothley, LE7 7PF

About this opportunity

If you dream of running a pub in a vibrant Leicestershire village, this is your chance!

Sitting proudly in the heart of Rothley, overlooking the village green, The Royal Oak is a traditional pub in the heart of the community. It’s a popular spot for locals and those from the surrounding areas who enjoy catching up over a good pint in a lively atmosphere.

The pub is ready for a refresh. With investment planned to refresh the interior and exterior, the new business owners will have the chance to put their own stamp on it and create something special that the village will be proud to call their local.

Inside, it features a spacious, open-plan L-shaped bar with a slightly raised area at the rear – perfect for creating different zones. There’s also a small private function room, a fantastic asset for events, private parties, or community gatherings. Outside, you’ll find an enclosed and covered patio courtyard to the side and a lovely garden out back.

Rothley is a highly sought-after village, with a thriving local scene and a new housing development underway bringing 3,000 more homes,

Now’s the time to expand the offer and make the most of this exciting opportunity. Think a top-notch drinks range, live sports on screen, quiz nights, live music, and even a simple food menu; the potential here is enormous.

Pub highlights:

  • Prime location in the heart of a thriving village
  • Planned refresh and opportunity to put your own stamp on it
  • A lovely covered patio and garden for year-round appeal
  • Huge potential to expand the offer with entertainment & a simple food offer

We’re looking for passionate individuals who can embrace the community spirit, bring people together, and make The Royal Oak the go-to local.

If you’re ready to take on an exciting pub in a growing, vibrant village, we’d love to chat.
