Run a Star Pub - Horse & Jockey Wrexham - Wrexham

Refurbishment planned for the iconic Horse & Jockey pub in Wrexham City Centre. We’re making a significant investment to revitalise the pub, ensuring it becomes a true hub for both the local community and visitors.

The Horse & Jockey is located in the city of Wrexham, surrounded by shops, food and retail outlets, and mixed housing. It is well-positioned to benefit from the area’s growing foot traffic, thanks to its proximity to well-known attractions like Wrexham A.F.C. The customer base is varied, made up of a mixed age group ranging from early 20’s to senior customers aged 65+.

The Horse & Jockey will provide a broad drinks menu featuring lagers, ciders, spirits, wines, and cask ales. This diverse selection offers something for everyone, giving you the flexibility to cater to both regulars and visitors seeking a premium experience. A classic pub menu will be in place, designed to suit a variety of tastes, complementing the drinks offer and ensuring steady footfall throughout the day for both casual diners and families. Quality coffee can be offered, attracting daytime visitors and non-drinkers, broadening the pub’s appeal.

With live music, quiz nights, and open mic events planned, you’ll have a ready-made schedule to drive footfall on quieter nights. These events are designed to foster community engagement and keep customers returning regularly. We’re always open to new ideas; what would you do to drive trade?

Attitude is more valuable than experience. If you’ve got the following, we’d love to hear from you:

• Understanding of the local community
• You know what it takes to build a successful business
• You love hospitality and are great with customers

There will be additional ongoing charges payable during the term of the agreement such as property maintenance, repairs fund, SmartDispense. These costs will be outlined prior to completing a business plan and finalised at Heads of Terms.

The calculation of the Estimated Minimum Ingoing Costs assumes a minimum deposit of 1 month's rent and that fixtures and fittings (F&F) are rented.
