Job description
Tenancy Opportunity: The Holly Bush, Church Broughton

Become the next independent custodians of a cherished village pub. Set in the heart of Church Broughton—an attractive rural community of around 650 residents, 13 miles west of Derby—The Holly Bush is a long‑established, much‑loved local that now offers a rare tenancy opportunity for operators ready to run their own food‑led business.

Why this opportunity stands out

A business with deep roots
With only two licensees in 42 years, The Holly Bush is a genuine community anchor and a trusted destination for quality food and warm hospitality.

Impressive guest satisfaction
Consistent guest scores of 900+ across the last four years reflect strong standards and loyal repeat trade.

Food‑forward trading
A proven food‑led model generating c.£9000 per week with a 60:40 food:wet split—ideal for operators ready to bring their own menus and culinary identity.

Space to grow
Clear potential to unlock further trade by building afternoon and mid‑week appeal.

Chef‑owned & self‑managed
Perfect for hands‑on operators with kitchen expertise who want full autonomy over the food experience and day‑to‑day standards.

The Pub

A characterful, multi‑space village pub that trades well throughout the day. It offers:

  • A cosy snug with local character
  • A mixed‑use bar
  • A welcoming dining area
  • Seating to the front of the pub and a generous rear garden with 75 covers

The village offers a strong community backbone, with a local school, church and a blend of farming heritage and commuter access to Ashbourne, Uttoxeter, Derby and Burton upon Trent.

What We’re Looking For

This tenancy suits operators who:

  • Bring strong chef capability and can deliver a consistently high‑quality, self‑managed food offer
  • Are ready to integrate into a semi‑rural community and build meaningful local relationships
  • Can uphold excellent standards while shaping a distinctive, personal food identity
  • Have prior operating experience (first‑time operators may find the required investment challenging)

Living on Site

Enjoy well‑proportioned private accommodation including three bedrooms, a sitting room, bathroom, kitchen and a ground‑floor office—ideal for balancing home life with running the business.

Headline Numbers (Guide)

  • Weekly sales: £9,000
  • Sales mix: 60% food / 40% wet
  • Covers: 75

Next Steps

If you’re ready to bring your own food vision, run a fully self‑managed business and shape the next chapter of The Holly Bush, tell us about your operating background, culinary capability and how you would grow engagement with the village—especially around afternoon trading.

  • Rent (Per Annum): £45,250
  • Working capital: £10,000
  • Estimated stock and glassware: £7,000
