The Boat Inn,

The Boat Inn is a traditional, wet-led community pub in the heart of Loughborough, generating average weekly sales of around £9,000, with an impressive 95% wet and 5% food sales mix. The pub has built a loyal following through its strong entertainment offer, welcoming atmosphere and position as a hub for local social activity. Regular quizzes, themed events, live entertainment, pool, darts and poker leagues make it a popular destination for local residents and community groups, creating a lively and engaging environment throughout the week.

We're looking for an energetic and entrepreneurial Pub Partner who is passionate about hospitality, community engagement and creating memorable guest experiences. There is significant opportunity to build on the pub's strong foundations by expanding the entertainment programme, increasing drinks sales through themed events and seasonal activity, growing social media presence, and strengthening relationships with local clubs, teams and organisations. With a loyal customer base already in place and a proven appetite for events and social occasions, The Boat Inn offers the perfect opportunity for an operator who wants to run their own successful pub business with the backing and support of Marston's.

What’s in it for you? 20% share of weekly wet sales excluding VAT, and keep 100% of any food sales. Low ingoing costs start with a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal cost. Separate owner’s accommodation is included, with most bills covered except council tax and TV Licence.
