Property details
The Horns Inn is located in the centre of the large Staffordshire village of Gnosall, between the 2 main Towns of Stafford and Newport (15 minutes in either direction). The Shropshire Union Canal passes through Gnosall, making the area popular with walkers, and looking further afield, it is just 18 minutes away from the historic National Trust site of Lilleshall Abbey. Gnosall has an adult population of 3,500, which mostly consists of strong demographics of medium to high affluence.
The Horns Inn will undergo a major refurbishment to create a great pub with great food. The creation of a much larger kitchen will accommodate a new and improved proposed food offer. The rear of the pub, currently used as a pool/games area, will be refurbished into a stunning 36 cover, dining area over two levels, complete with its own bar with new flooring, fixed and loose furniture, new light fittings, and wall coverings as well as a feature fireplace. The two further small, cosy dining spaces close to the kitchen will also be refurbished, in keeping with the more food-led offer. The bar area will retain the existing stone-flagged floor with the addition of a new wood floor close to the large open fire, this area being redecorated with new bric-a-brac and light fittings.
The investment will allow for a full redecoration of the exterior of the building, with new signage and lighting to the front and side elevations to signal the new offer inside. To the side of the pub, the existing paved and decked seating area is to be refurbished with new tables and chairs and new lighting.
The pub's trading area and facilities post refurbishment will be:
- Main trading area with bar
- New two-level dining room with own bar
- 2 small separate, cosy dining areas
- 79 internal covers
- 24 external covers
- Large catering kitchen
- Paved and decked outdoor trading areas
- Car Park with 5 spaces (further free parking is available at the Grosvenor centre just a 1-minute walk away)
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.

The potential of the pub lies in creating a great food offer. Currently, there is nowhere in the village to go for a more upmarket, premium food offer, meaning people currently drive out of the village when they want a treat. The Horns will fill this gap in the market. There is further parking available for over 30 cars just 1 minute’s walk away at the village Grosvenor centre, which is free and open all day with no evening restrictions. This will attract those further afield, looking to travel to enjoy a meal with friends or family.
Once refurbished, the Horns Inn will offer:
- Premium lagers, craft beers and a great range of cask ales alongside premium wines and spirits and a small range of cocktails.
- Wine is expected to feature highly to match the quality food offer.
- Upmarket destination pub food.
- Coffees
- Occasional entertainment
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 pub will have extensive experience in a similar hospitality business. They will have a clear vision for their food and drinks menu and can create a memorable experience for their customers. Cask ale experience would be beneficial but not essential.
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.
