Property details
The Honest Boy is situated in the heart of the village of Blackfell, Washington. The village comprises a range of local amenities and independent businesses, as well as a primary school. Blackfell is a densely populated area, resulting in several surrounding chimney pots overlooking the pub. When Washington New Town was developed, each village was provided with its own industrial estate to support local employment. The Honest Boy benefits from strong transport links, with easy access to major roads including the A1(M), and is served by regular bus services throughout the day.
The pub comprises two main trading areas. Recently refurbished both internally and externally to a high standard, the main bar can comfortably accommodate up to fifty covers, with flexible loose seating and space for vertical drinking. This area also features a wall of dartboards, a pool table, multiple televisions, and a large projector screen, making it ideal for live sporting events throughout the year. Adjoining the main bar is a spacious function room that performs well for local family celebrations, live music and private parties. Tastefully refurbished, the room offers a combination of low-level bench seating and loose seating, with a blend of wooden and tiled flooring. Attractive wall coverings are complemented by a lower seating area featuring carpeted flooring and softer furnishings, creating a versatile and welcoming space for both diners and private events. A prominent bar and dedicated DJ booth further enhance the room’s appeal. The lounge/function room is accessible via the pub or through a separate external entrance.
The private accommodation is located on the first floor of the pub and is generously spacious, with three bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom.

Trading style
The Honest Boy is a well-established local community pub, recognised for its strong drinks offering alongside the opportunity to develop a traditional, affordable food menu. It benefits from support within the local area and consistently achieves footfall, particularly during live sporting events, which act as a key driver of trade. The pub also hosts a range of pool, darts, and dominoes teams. These teams regularly hold league fixtures at the venue, reinforcing its role as a central meeting place within the community. In addition, The Honest Boy benefits from a separate function room, providing a versatile space ideal for private parties, social gatherings, or potential use as a dedicated restaurant area, offering further opportunities for growth and diversification.
The landlords are looking for a community-focused licensee who will become part of the local area and build strong relationships with nearby businesses and charities. A catering background would be helpful, but isn’t essential. Good local knowledge is important, along with an interest in sport, especially local teams, to help grow the current offering. The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic and motivated, with basic marketing skills, good business sense, and strong attention to detail to ensure high standards are maintained throughout the pub.
