Property details
The Coach and Horses is ideally located on the main street of Priestpopple in Hexham, Northumberland, offering significant visibility and foot traffic in this thriving market town. Hexham is well-connected, with excellent transport links including the Hexham station, which connects to Newcastle and Carlisle, as well as direct road access via the A69 and A695. Regular bus services also serve the area, further boosting accessibility. The town’s demographic profile, marked by rising prosperity, indicates a more affluent local population. This provides a strong foundation for a pub that can offer a premium experience, catering to both the local community and visitors. The pub already received a significant investment in 2021, positioning it well to capitalise on this prime location and the area's economic growth. With a focus on providing quality food, drinks, and service, The Coach and Horses is well-placed to attract and retain a loyal customer base, while also appealing to those visiting the town. The investment in the site ensures the infrastructure is in place for continued success, making this a fantastic opportunity for the right licensee to make their mark in a growing, prosperous area.
Upon entry, guests are greeted by a covered hall featuring comfortable seating and soft furnishings, leading to the spacious beer garden and the separate Stable Bar (outdoor bar) at the rear. The beer garden boasts several wooden benches and small iron tables with chairs, all within a fenced area, enhanced by charming festoon lighting. Additionally, the covered alleyway contains more wooden benches, further establishing this venue as the only beer garden in Hexham. To the right, the cosy bar area is characterised by a mix of tiled and wooden flooring, with the galley-style bar serving as the central feature, next to the hotel reception. This area also offers low-level bench seating and loose chairs by large windows, providing views of the high street. Opposite the bar, 3 poseur tables with high stools are perfect for vertical drinking, complemented by a bay window overlooking the foyer. At the far end of the bar, a snug area offers a comfortable retreat, featuring carpeted floors, a blend of low-level bench seating and loose chairs, a dartboard, and a TV. On the left, a separate lounge area provides flexible space that can serve as a function room, seating around 50 people. Currently used as a dining area, this space features folding doors that open to the main street during warmer weather. The venue also includes a full commercial kitchen and prep area. The Coach benefits from 6 en-suite letting rooms, all recently upgraded to a mid-market standard, offering comfortable accommodations for guests. Also due to the location on the main street, the site holds a paving license for outdoor seating, with an expanded paved area at the front.
The site also offers 6 en-suite letting rooms, all in excellent condition:
Room 1: Super King
Room 2: Standard King
Room 3: Standard King
Room 4: Standard King
Room 5: Small Double (Single Occupancy)

Trading style
The pub is currently trading strongly, with wet sales accounting for the majority of the turnover. Draught beers, wines, and spirits perform particularly well, supported by a loyal customer base and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. Amusement machines continue to provide a steady secondary income stream, while the recently introduced sports area, featuring a pool table, has helped increase footfall and further strengthen bar sales. The business also benefits from several letting rooms, which generate reliable year-round income and see particularly high demand during key trading periods such as Christmas, Easter, and the summer months. There is scope to further develop this aspect of the business through increased marketing and promotion. Although no food is currently offered, the pub has a fully equipped commercial kitchen in place. This presents an excellent opportunity for an incoming licensee to introduce a simple, quality food offering that complements the existing drinks-led business and helps drive additional revenue.
The landlords are looking for a dynamic and engaged licensee, someone who’s ready to roll up their sleeves, take ownership, and bring fresh energy to the business. Ideally, you’ll have previous experience running similar operations, with a hands-on approach and a genuine passion for pubs and people. Local knowledge or a strong connection to the area would be a real advantage, helping to strengthen community ties and build lasting relationships. There’s currently no food offering, but with a full commercial kitchen, this is a real opportunity to add a no-fuss, quality menu that complements the pub’s identity and appeals to both locals and visitors. The key will be finding the right balance, continuing the success of the wet sales and entertainment side of the business, while enhancing the offer with food, and maximising the potential of the letting rooms. Promotion will be essential, and the landlords are looking for someone confident with marketing and social media, able to drive footfall through events, seasonal campaigns, and online engagement. A community-first approach, combined with regular activities and a strong digital presence, will help keep this pub at the heart of the high street.
