Property details
The Jack in a Box is a large 1960s-style detached property located in a residential area four miles southeast of Sheffield town centre. It is very much a wet-led community pub and it is positioned on a busy road with great transport links to and from the city. As well as lots of housing, this suburban area has many amenities including a Tesco, pharmacy, petrol station, school, and a parade of shops all within minutes of the pub.
The pub is a single-room, open-plan layout with two distinct trading areas around a central bar servery. To the right of the pub is a bar/pub games area with a pool table, darts oche, gaming machines, and TVs, with a raised window seating area and a mix of fixed & loose furniture. To the left of the pub is a more relaxed lounge bar area with a raised stage and seating. Towards the rear of the pub are the toilets, as well as a good-sized catering kitchen which is currently being under-utilised. The pub and its fixtures and fittings are in good order throughout.
Externally the pub features a raised drinking area at the front of the pub with bench seating and attractive views, as well as a small car park to the right of the pub with approximately ten spaces.
The private accommodation can be accessed via a separate entrance from outside the pub and consists of a lounge, kitchen, bathroom, and three good-sized bedrooms.

Trading style
The Jack in a Box currently trades as a wet-led community local, with a strong regular trade from the surrounding residents who see the pub as a real hub of their community. Midweek trade is driven mainly by the early evenings, with established pub sports teams, quiz nights, and regular bingo evenings providing a good level of custom throughout the week. Regular weekend karaoke, discos, and live acts are also popular and well-supported by the locals. There is an excellent opportunity to develop the business further with the introduction of live sports coverage and a food offer utilising the well-equipped kitchen.
The pub is nestled right in the centre of the community and needs to deliver consistently high standards and a variety of activities to ensure the business maximises sales and remains the hub of the community. One of the first steps needed to achieve this is to launch a food offer which could enhance the business, especially during the day. The experience and qualities the landlords will consider desirable to run this popular community pub include enthusiasm and drive, along with the necessary catering skills to launch the food offer. This would also include having good marketing and organisational skills to develop the day-to-day activity needed including promoting sports and organising regular events such as quiz nights and live entertainment.
