Trading style
The Owls Nest trades as a true community local and is one of the few remaining pubs in the area. It is predominantly wet-led, with a loyal customer base built around live rugby league and football, darts and pool teams, and regular live entertainment and karaoke, giving the pub a genuine community ‘hub’ feel.
Live sport is shown across both rooms on several large-screen TVs, and the function room and external area provide further capacity for events. The wet trade is the heart of the business; there is additional upside for an operator who wishes to introduce a simple food offer and make full use of the outside space once the approved improvements are complete.
The pub company is looking for a people-focused operator with a big personality and plenty of enthusiasm to run this busy community local. Attitude and energy matter more than experience, although a background in running community or sports-led pubs would be beneficial.
The successful applicant will protect and grow the strong wet trade, keeping live rugby league and football, darts, pool and regular live entertainment at the centre of the business. They will enjoy driving volume through events, making full use of the function room and external area, and be comfortable building the community ‘hub’ feel that makes The Owls Nest one of the few remaining locals in the area. The option to develop a food offer provides further upside.
