Fancy running a proper beer-lover’s pub?

If you’ve got a passion for great beer, good music, and creating those “you had to be there” moments, then the Black Horse could be just the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Located on Braunstone Gate on the lively edge of Leicester city centre, the Black Horse is full of character and brimming with potential.

It’s a wet-led pub through and through, the kind of place where the beer is the main event. Picture an impressive ever-changing line-up of quality beers on the bar (with plenty of room to showcase local favourites and interesting guest brews), the buzz of live music filling the air, and a crowd that loves a proper pint and a great time.

Inside, you’ll find a charming main bar and a more relaxed lounge area, both served by a central bar that keeps things flowing nicely. And when the sun’s out, the rooftop seating area is a brilliant little escape, perfect for summer pints.

We’re looking for someone who can bring energy, creativity, and the drive to make the Black Horse the go-to spot for beer enthusiasts in Leicester.

Highlights

• A wet-led pub with potential to become the go-to beer spot in Leicester

• Bar space to showcase an impressive range of beers

• Rooftop terrace ideal for summer pints

• A pub with 140 years of heritage

The Black Horse is more than a pub opportunity; it’s a passion project waiting for the right person to bring it to life.

So, if you can picture yourself behind the bar, curating an exciting beer range, hosting cracking live music and quiz nights, and creating a pub that people can’t wait to return to, we’d love to hear from you.
