Property details
The Cask & Spindle is located in the small village of Shepley, close to the railway station and a busy main road carrying approximately 9,000 vehicles each day. The pub benefits from a strong village catchment, with 1,781 adults living within a 10-minute walk and 2,395 within a 20-minute walk.
As one of a handful of pubs serving the village and surrounding area, the Cask & Spindle has the opportunity to stand out through its scale, setting and strong food offer. Following a period of closure, the investment will relaunch the pub with a fresh identity and rebuild its position at the heart of the local community.
The pub's trading area and facilities post-refurbishment will be:
- Main trading area with bar
- Separate dining room
- Snug area
- Dedicated locals’ bar
- 78 internal covers
- Refitted commercial catering kitchen
- HEINEKEN Smart Dispense
- Revitalised pub garden with 72 external covers
- Car park with more than 25 spaces
A full internal and external transformation, estimated at around £460,000, will completely reposition the Cask & Spindle. The project will refresh the pub’s appearance, improve its layout and facilities, strengthen the food offer and create more reasons to visit throughout the day and across the seasons.
Inside, the main trading area will be transformed to create a welcoming bar at the heart of the pub, complemented by a separate dining room and a snug. A dedicated locals’ bar will provide an intimate, comfortable setting for village regulars, helping the pub rebuild a strong sense of community while protecting the quality of the dining experience elsewhere in the venue.
The commercial kitchen will be refitted to support a strong food-led offer, while the new dining space and refreshed décor will help establish the Cask & Spindle as one of the most appealing places to eat and drink in the village. A barista-style coffee offer will also open up daytime trading opportunities and give customers another reason to visit beyond traditional lunch and evening occasions.
Outside, refreshed signage and improvements to the frontage will strengthen kerb appeal and make the investment immediately visible from the busy road. The pub garden will be completely revitalised to accommodate 72 external covers, supporting summer trade, family visits, relaxed drinks and informal dining. The private accommodation will also be refurbished, providing an attractive three-bedroom home for the incoming operator.
The operator will have scope to shape the detailed food, drink, coffee and events offer. The opportunity is to build a pub that feels rooted in Shepley while having enough quality, confidence and consistency to attract customers from the wider area.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, living rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

The new offer will broaden the customer base, creating reasons for families and casual diners to visit while also attracting younger professionals for after-work drinks, coffee and informal dining. Improved kerb appeal, a dedicated locals’ bar, an enhanced dining offer and a revitalised garden will help drive both spontaneous visits and destination trade throughout the week.
If you’ve benefited from running or owning a pub business, the landlords would love to hear what experience you can bring.

They will have a clear vision for the food and drink menu, barista-style coffee offer, local marketing strategy and the development of year-round trade, and can create a memorable experience for their customers.
The successful operator will understand how to balance the needs of village regulars with the expectations of families, younger professionals and destination diners. They should be confident building a strong team, delivering consistently high standards and making the most of the pub’s internal and external trading spaces.
