The pub is a traditional British local pub that is predominantly drink-focused. Renowned for its vibrant sports scene, particularly in darts and pool, the establishment hosts various teams within its walls. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy a plethora of events broadcast via SKY Sports. There is a further opportunity to implement a cask ale offer with a more varied range of drinks. The courtyard has the potential to be developed to further appeal to drinkers who wish to sit in the sun in the warmer months and also to implement a small food offer.
The Empire is a community pub catering to the locals. The aim is to have the best community pub in the area by utilising the space in the pub for all occasions but focusing on live sports and teams. The pub should sit at the heart of the community so there is potential to offer family fun days, charity nights, and hiring out areas of the pub for parties such as wedding anniversaries and milestone birthday parties. The landlords are seeking a new licensee to engage with the community by offering something for everyone. They would work with all potential feedback from any applicant and would consider a refurbishment with the right licensee.
