Property details
A £215,317 refurbishment is planned to transform The British Oak into a premium local with a striking internal and external upgrade.
The British Oak sits in a rural countryside setting, positioned roadside with strong visibility and a canal directly opposite, creating natural passing trade and destination appeal. With no premium local competition nearby and four competitors not within walking distance, the pub benefits from a strong standalone presence in its immediate catchment.
Currently, the pub attracts a loyal but more mature demographic and relies heavily on weekend trade. The refurbishment will reposition it to appeal to a broader and more diverse customer base, with a focus on families and casual diners, unlocking greater daytime and midweek opportunities.
There are 1,174 adults living within walking distance of the pub, providing a solid local base to build from, alongside passing roadside traffic and seasonal canal visitors.
The pub's trading area and facilities post-refurbishment will be:
- Main trading area with bar
- Separate dining room
- Snug area
- Separate games and sports zone
- 64 internal covers
- 41 + 50 external covers
- Catering kitchen suitable for pub classics
- HEINEKEN Smart Dispense
- Three-bedroom private flat with bathroom, kitchen, and lounge
- Pub garden
- 22-space car park
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

Catering Kitchen
Trading style
The pub will operate as a premium local, offering pub classics done well from a good-sized catering kitchen suitable for a strong food proposition. A premium drinks range, supported by HEINEKEN Smart Dispense, will elevate the bar offer. The large beer garden has strong potential for summer events, and the introduction of darts will add a further social element to drive repeat visits.
If you’ve benefited from running or owning a pub business, the landlords would love to hear what experience you can bring.
The right operator for The British Oak will have extensive experience in food-led hospitality businesses. They will have a clear vision for delivering quality pub classics, building a premium drinks range, maximising seasonal garden trade, and creating a strong events rhythm, and can create a memorable experience for their customers.
If this sounds like the incredible pub opportunity you’ve been waiting for, apply today and tell the landlords what you can bring to this pub’s next chapter.
