Property details
The Castle is a semi-detached 1960s pub in a prominent and bustling location on Dudley High Street, surrounded by local shops and amenities. Dudley is a large market town in the West Midlands of England, six miles south of Wolverhampton and eight miles north of Birmingham. The landlords have invested £240,000 in this great pub with full internal decoration and new signage.
Conveniently located on the high street, the pub welcomes you through its main entrance into a spacious, open-plan bar area. Directly ahead is the main bar servery, which is surrounded by a mix of fixed and loose seating. Towards the rear of the pub is a pool table, which is set apart from the main trade space, creating a dedicated games area. The central bar doubles as a versatile space, ideal for hosting functions and events and for watching televised sport on one of several TVs, which are located throughout the pub.
To the rear of the pub, there is access to the toilets and out to the beer garden. This space features several wooden benches and has the scope to be developed further to be better utilised in the summer months.
The private accommodation is located on the first floor and consists of three bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, and a bathroom, and is the perfect size for a family.

Trading style
The Castle is a wet-led community-focused pub that has the potential to develop its existing trade by becoming a real ‘hub of the community.’ It has a great entertainment programme with live music, which is popular with the locals. Existing activities provide a sound base of sports teams and traditional bar games including football, darts, quizzes, and pool. By consistently focusing on community engagement, entertainment, and providing a warm and inviting space, the pub can indeed become a central hub for the local community.
The BDM is looking for an experienced community-driven operator. The new operator should implement a great rhythm of the week that ideally should include SKY sports and regular live music events along with pool teams coupled with other games/activities such a quiz nights and bingo. The ideal applicant will be able to demonstrate a good understanding of the local marketplace as well as be community-focused, and have previous knowledge in running a similar pub. This pub is not suitable for first-time operators.
