Property details
The Hazelslade sits within a former mining village between Hednesford and Rugeley in the Cannock Chase District of Staffordshire. The area has a strong identity as a close-knit village community on the edge of the stunning Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, bringing together loyal locals with visitors exploring the surrounding countryside.
There are 1,958 adults living within a 10-minute walk of the pub and 3,196 within 20 minutes, creating a solid local catchment. Currently, the pub’s trade has been predominantly drinks-led with limited daytime use and strong reliance on weekend trade. The refurbishment will reposition The Hazelslade as a premium local with a quality food offer, appealing to a broader audience, including families, casual diners, and After-Work Socialisers.
There are around four nearby competitors, largely food-led venues or traditional community pubs. This investment will allow The Hazelslade to occupy the gap in the market by combining a premium pub environment with food, live sport, and entertainment.
The pub's trading area and facilities post-refurbishment will be:
- Main trading area with a bar
- Separate dining room
- Snug area
- Separate games or sports zone
- Catering kitchen
- Function room
- HEINEKEN SmartDispense
- Small patio garden
- Car park with 31 spaces
- Three-bedroom private accommodation
- Internal covers for approximately 78 guests
- External covers for approximately 34 guests
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

What's happening?
The refurbishment will focus on improving both the visual appeal and the trading potential of the pub. Externally, the building will receive a full redecoration along with new signage and lighting, dramatically improving kerb appeal and signalling a fresh start for the venue.
Inside, the pub will receive a complete internal upgrade, creating a premium environment designed to attract a wider audience. A new commercial kitchen will be introduced to enable a food-led offer, supporting sustainable weekly trade and encouraging more daytime visits.
Investment will also be made in the sports lounge area, allowing the pub to cater for local demand around live sport and social entertainment such as darts. Combined with food, live music, and events, the refurbished space will provide a welcoming and lively hub for the community.
The drinks range will focus on premium lagers and ciders alongside a premium world beer selection, supported by a mainstream pub food offer and coffee for daytime trade.
