Property details
The Coach & Horses is a community pub located just outside the centre of Gloucester. Gloucester is the county town of Gloucestershire in the South West of England. Gloucester lies on the River Severn, between the Cotswolds to the east and the Forest of Dean to the west. Gloucester has a population of around 132,000, including suburban areas. The pub is located just 300 yards from the Kingsholm Rugby Stadium and as such benefits from pre and post-match day trade.
This is a charming, traditional community pub, thoughtfully designed to be both light and airy, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere as soon as you step inside. This single-room establishment caters to both standing and seated guests, with a centrally located bar area featuring a mix of fixed and movable seating options. On the right-hand side, a projector is set up for television viewing, while on the left, a corridor leads to the male and female restrooms, private accommodations, and access to the rear garden.
The garden area, a delightful blend of patio and lawn, offers a relaxing outdoor space for al fresco drinking, complete with a separate smoking area. Although there is no on-site parking, ample roadside parking is available, along with a small pay-and-display car park directly across the street from the pub.
The domestic accommodation is split over two floors and consists of four bedrooms, a lounge, a bathroom, and a kitchen.

Cask Ale
Trading style
The Coach & Horses has most recently traded as a wet-led pub that thrived on its strong community connections and benefitted from the pre and post-matchday trade from the Kingsholm Rugby stadium. The pub offered a range of cask ale and ciders.
The landlords are seeking a licensee(s) with a strong understanding of the local area. While prior experience is beneficial, it is not a requirement. They are looking for a community-focused licensee who can lead the way in driving the business forward. The ideal licensee will recognise the importance of the pub’s role within the local community and have the ability to actively engage with customers, fostering a warm and lively atmosphere. A proactive approach to social media is essential to maintain a strong online presence, attract new customers, and keep the local community informed about upcoming events and promotions. Establishing a regular “rhythm of the week” with events such as quiz nights, live music, and themed evenings will be crucial to ensuring the continued success of The Coach & Horses. There is also potential to develop a back bar food offering and introduce pub teams. The new licensee should have a clear vision for enhancing the pub’s drink selection, improving overall retail standards, and elevating customer service.
