Queen's Head

Main Street, Saddington, LE8 0QH

About this opportunity

A New Chapter Begins

The Queen’s Head has long been a cherished part of village life in Saddington, a place where locals gather, walkers rest, and families soak up the sunshine in one of Leicestershire’s most beautiful pub gardens.

Following a short closure, we’re delighted that The Queen’s Head is open and welcoming the community for drinks once again.

Our next step is to find the right long-term business owner - someone with the passion, creativity, and community spirit to unlock the full potential of this exceptional country pub and take it forward for years to come.

About The Pub

Nestled in the rolling South Leicestershire countryside, The Queen’s Head boasts stunning views over Saddington Reservoir - a truly special spot to enjoy a drink in the garden on a sunny day.

Inside, the pub features:

  • A traditional bar with a roaring fire and a welcoming snug

  • A large, bright dining area spread across three levels — ideal for meals, functions, and gatherings - think go-to food destination

  • A terrace and spacious garden perfect for outdoor events and summer evenings

This is a pub with a loyal following and a strong local community, but with so much untapped potential. With the right vision and strategy, it could become the destination in the area - think seasonal menus, community events and live music.

Why The Queen’s Head?

  • Large garden with breathtaking countryside views and recently installed children’s play equipment

  • Huge potential to grow an already well-loved pub

  • Planned investment to support the right operator’s vision

  • Strong community connections and support

We’re looking for someone who can see what makes this pub truly special, someone who wants to be at the heart of the community, building friendships and creating a place people love to visit time and again
