Red Lion, Brimington
With £250,000 being invested to create an exceptional sports-led experience, our Grandstand pubs are built for people who live and breathe live sport.
Featuring huge screens, top-tier entertainment, great food and drink, and an unbeatable atmosphere, we don't just show sport, we live it. From matchdays to live music and major sporting occasions, Grandstand pubs bring local communities and fans together, creating the perfect environment for your next partnership opportunity.
The Red Lion is a thriving community pub located in the heart of Brimington, on the outskirts of Chesterfield.
Currently trading at an average of £7800 per week, The Red Lion boasts a strong reputation and delights guests with live sports and weekend entertainment as well as a popular function room that provides additional revenue opportunities and attracts a wide range of customers.
Externally, the pub benefits from a beer garden with heated marquee, significantly increasing capacity and allowing the venue to trade successfully throughout the year.
The planned refurbishment in mid-October will see The Red Lion transition to the Grandstand format, creating a premium sports viewing experience for customers. This investment will enhance the pub's appeal as the go-to sports venue in the area, complemented by a focused food offering featuring a small quality menu designed to drive additional sales and customer engagement.
We’re looking for an experienced, sports-driven Pub Partner who thrives in high-energy, wet-led environments and knows how to create standout guest experiences week in, week out. Previous food experience is essential, with experience operating branded food offers a strong advantage. You’ll be commercially focused, confident leading large teams, and passionate about using sport, atmosphere and great hospitality to drive results and make your pub the place everyone wants to be.
