Property details
The Rose & Crown in South Shields enjoys a prime location in this coastal town in Tyne & Wear, situated on the south bank of the mouth of the River Tyne. Positioned on the corner of a main road and surrounded by local shops, the pub is easily accessible and benefits from excellent visibility to passing pedestrians and motorists. The abundance of chimney pots in the area suggests a dense residential population nearby, contributing to a steady stream of local patrons frequenting the pub. Additionally, the Rose & Crown's location on a busy main road leading to the coast ensures a constant flow of passing trade, particularly during peak tourist seasons. South Shields is accessible via major roadways such as the A1018 and the A194 and with regular metro and bus routes, this ensures that the convenient location of the Rose & Crown is easily accessible.
Upon entrance from the car park is the main bar area. The bar is a prominent fixture central to the room offering a premium array of products.

Trading style
The Rose & Crown is currently a wet let community local pub with a focus on drinks promotions. Team sports such as darts and pool, and televised sporting events, are a constant rhythm of the week. The pub should be the hub of the community, catering to a wide range of clientele who are accommodated through a strong entertainment schedule. There is a kitchen area that can be used to introduce a food offering, which could enhance buffets, etc, for meetings/events, and a small menu using the function room as a lounge /dining area too.
The landlords are seeking an experienced and passionate licensee, either an individual or a couple, to take the lead at a pub that’s poised for success following significant external investment. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a broad skill set who can confidently manage all areas of the business, including food operations, function spaces, and the wet trade. Ideally, they will bring a strong understanding of the local area, coupled with the creativity and vision to introduce fresh ideas, attract new customers, and deliver a compelling marketing plan. This should include both traditional and digital marketing strategies to promote the pub’s full offering and appeal to a broad, diverse customer base. The landlords are looking for someone ready to embed themselves in the local community, building strong relationships, engaging with local events, and creating a welcoming atmosphere that brings people together.
With the benefit of the landlord's investment, the pub is ready to be re-established as the beating heart of the community. Now it needs the right licensee to bring that vision to life.
The landlords are making a significant investment in the pub, with a full external refurbishment planned to enhance its kerb appeal and overall presence. This will include fresh external painting, new signage, upgraded facias, and improved lighting to create a more welcoming and attractive exterior. Inside, the investment continues with the redecoration of the private accommodation, ensuring the space is refreshed.
