Property details
The Winning Post is a prominent detached pub situated on a spacious plot of land, located on the outskirts of the city of Wolverhampton. It benefits from being in a highly populated area, which has a bustling community of 13,365 households and a population of 35,562 all within a 1-mile radius of the pub. The Winning Post is ideally located within walking distance of Wolverhampton Racecourse and Molineux Football ground, with many other local amenities situated close by.
Following a substantial investment, the Winning Post will offer a large, open-plan trading area with a traditional décor and a contemporary twist. As you enter the pub, you are welcomed into a spacious room, where you will see the large main bar servery directly in front. To the rear, steps lead up to a designated games area featuring two pool tables, two darts boards, and a large projector screen for sports, making this a well-loved space for any avid sports fan. In addition to this, there are also several large-screen TVs in the main trade area.
Wrapping around the exterior of the pub, you will find two garden spaces, one of which is home to a spacious covered outdoor seating space, ideal for any time of the year, and also a lawned play area for children. The pub also benefits from a large car park with up to 20 car park spaces.

Following a thoughtful refurbishment, The Winning Post is set to reopen as a vibrant, wet-led pub with a strong community focus. Designed to be a welcoming hub at the heart of the neighbourhood, the venue blends the charm of a traditional local with the energy of a modern social space, with an established product range, great value offers, and a warm, inclusive environment. Existing activities, including darts, quizzes, pool, and poker, continue to thrive, offering something for everyone and encouraging regular, loyal footfall. With a strong emphasis on community engagement and lively entertainment, The Winning Post aims to be the new community hub. Perfectly positioned opposite Wolverhampton Racecourse, the pub is primed to become a favourite stop for pre-race drinks and post-event celebrations. Race days will come alive with themed events, buzzing crowds, and a welcoming atmosphere for both locals and visitors. There’s also great potential to capitalise on matchday excitement, with tailored promotions and a sports-friendly environment that caters to fans on route to Molineux or those looking to watch the game in comfort on one of the many screens throughout the venue.
The BDM is seeking a well-established and experienced individual or couple with a proven track record in managing community-focused pubs, capable of delivering a strong weekly rhythm that incorporates match days, race days, live music, pool teams, and engaging activities such as quiz nights and bingo, making this opportunity unsuitable for a first-time operator. This pub serves as a vibrant hub for the local community, with an established customer base and significant potential for growth. Its unique connection to Wolverhampton race days and Molineux match days offers lucrative opportunities for creative operators to further build its success. The ideal candidate will be the ultimate community hero, who operates with us, the customers who drink and socialise with us, and the locals who live near us in our communities.
