Lead a Village Pub: Food, Events & Community in North East

Overview

Pub Overview: Great Village Pub. What would you do with this pub to make it even more of a success?

The Stag’s Head is a village local well positioned on a main road in the village of Esh-Winning, Durham. It sits on a corner plot, flanked by local shops and other amenities. Due to its central position, the pub attracts passing trade and locals alike.

The site offers a foundation tenancy agreement and has potential to develop a well thought through food and drinks offer. It currently drives trade via live entertainment, live sports and a selection of pub games such as pool and darts. It offers a selection of coffees, popular beers, ciders, wines and spirits.
