Pub Overview
The subject of a proposed refurbishment, the Golden Cross is a striking Grade II listed pub is located in the heart of Coventry’s historic Cathedral quarter. Built in 1583, it boasts one of the only surviving medieval timber frames in the city. The pub is in close proximity to both the University and of course the world famous Coventry Cathedral, making it ideally placed to attract tourist footfall. In addition, the city’s main shopping areas are within short distance and the surrounding area contains a number of offices, allowing the opportunity to build a regular trade.
The Golden Cross is currently trading as a Young and Edgy Bar and the proposed refurbishment will re-launch the business as A Bit of Style venue, utilising the pub’s location to appeal to the passing trade of shoppers and tourists by day.
The ideal Lessee will be an experienced and proven pub operator with a robust business plan. As the provision of quality food forms a significant part of the proposal, previous experience of managing a catering operation would be preferable.
Applicants should be aware that all refurbishments are subject to final board approval which will be determined as part of the leasing process.
