Property details
The Spot Gate is in a rural location between Stone and Stoke-on-Trent, an area that combines Staffordshire's industrial heritage with countryside, canals and visitor attractions. Nearby draws include the Trent & Mersey Canal, Aston Marina, Trentham Estate and Stoke-on-Trent's renowned pottery attractions. There are 429 adults within a 20-minute walk of the pub.
Before closure, the pub was predominantly wet-led, value-led and reliant on weekend trade, with a basic offer that generated relatively few destination visits. The refurbishment will reposition it as a premium, food-led destination capable of appealing to families, casual diners, younger professionals, residents and visitors to the wider area. The brief identifies very limited direct competition, with the Black Lake the main comparable destination dining venue, giving the Spot Gate an opportunity to stand out through the scale of the investment and its distinctive Pullman railway carriages.
The refurbishment will cover the interior and exterior of the pub, including a revamp of the pub garden. A full list of works and pub floor plan can be found in the Downloads section.
The pub's trading area and facilities post-refurbishment will be:
- Main trading area with bar
- Separate dining room
- Snug area
- Separate games/sports zone
- 159 internal covers
- 38 external covers
- Catering kitchen
- HEINEKEN SmartDispense
- Three-bedroom private accommodation
- Pub garden
- Car park with 40+ spaces
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a separate WC.
