A refurbishment in the region of £100,000 is planned for the Nags Head, Kirkby in Ashfield, transforming it into a refreshed community pub with a revitalised interior and a dedicated darts and entertainment area. What would you do with this pub to make it a success?
The Nags Head occupies a central position on the main high street in Kirkby in Ashfield town centre. Around 3,685 adults live within a 10-minute walk of the pub, with a good mix of age groups in the local catchment. The town centre has an established hospitality scene, with four other pubs nearby.
The pub currently attracts a predominantly drinks-focused customer base through its traditional, value-led offer. The refurbishment will retain its role as a community pub while giving it a fresher, more distinctive identity. The improved interior and entertainment facilities will help broaden its appeal, attract a more diverse customer base and encourage customers to stay longer and visit more often.
The Nags Head is available on our investment tenancy agreement. Please refer to the 'Refurbishment Details' section for details of the investment being made.

What we're planning & why
A planned internal refurbishment in the region of £100,000 will transform the Nags Head into a modern, welcoming community pub. The project will refresh the pub throughout, introduce a dedicated games and entertainment zone, enhance the darts offer and improve the two-bedroom private accommodation.
The full interior revamp will update the décor and make the pub a more attractive and distinctive choice in the town centre. The refreshed main trading area, bar and snug will provide a stronger setting for the pub's established drinks-led trade, while the separate games and sports zone will create a clear focal point for darts and entertainment.
Improved darts and entertainment facilities are intended to increase dwell time and support a higher spend per head. With 79 internal covers, HEINEKEN SmartDispense and a refreshed atmosphere, the Nags Head will be well placed to retain its existing customers while attracting a wider range of consumers.
The new operator will need to make the most of the improved facilities through a strong drinks offer, engaging entertainment activity and consistent local marketing.
The private accommodation will also be refurbished, providing two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and living room for the incoming operator.
Why invest?
The investment will give the Nags Head a fresher identity and a more effective layout for community drinking, darts and entertainment. By broadening the pub's appeal, increasing dwell time and supporting higher spend per head, the refurbishment is anticipated to increase annual turnover from approximately £261,000 to £379,000.
