Live Entertainment
Trading style
The Greyhound is a well-loved, traditional wet-led pub at the heart of the local community, known for its welcoming atmosphere and loyal customer base. Currently operating as a community-focused wet-led venue, it offers a solid foundation for growth and development. Entertainment, though currently offered on an ad-hoc basis, is always well received. Developing a more regular entertainment schedule could further boost trade, especially on quieter evenings.
The landlords are seeking a passionate and community-minded licensee to re-establish the Greyhound as the true heart of Worsborough, a warm, welcoming local where great value, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere combine to create a pub for everyone. With a strong focus on building a safe and inclusive social hub, the ideal licensee will appeal to all generations, from daytime regulars and families to evening social groups. There is a fantastic opportunity here to drive sales and encourage repeat visits by introducing a clear rhythm of the week: think quiz nights, live entertainment, charity fundraisers, and community-led events that bring people together. This will be supported by value-led drinks offers, consistent retail standards, and a community-first approach. By partnering with local sports teams, community groups, and fundraisers, the next licensee can help strengthen ties with the area and build lasting customer loyalty. While local knowledge and experience are preferred, they are not essential. This could be a perfect first tenancy for someone with the passion, drive, and people skills to bring this much-loved pub back to life.
