Property details
Mother Red Cap is an iconic pub on Holloway Road in North London, very close to Archway underground station. With 66,232 adults living within walking distance of the pub, the site benefits from a strong local catchment and excellent visibility in a busy high street location.
The area has a vibrant hospitality scene, with a wide range of pubs along Holloway Road, including sports-led value pubs, high-end gastro food pubs, and managed houses. Mother Red Cap has been closed for nearly two years, creating a clear opportunity to relaunch a well-established pub and rebuild its role in the local community.
There is a refurbishment planned to spend in the region of £263,000 to transform the Mother Red Cap into a premium local pub that celebrates its Irish heritage, strong sports offer, and iconic Holloway Road location.
The pub's trading area and facilities post-refurbishment will be:
- Main trading area with bar
- Snug area
- Separate games and sports zone
- 50 internal covers
- 16 external covers
- HEINEKEN SmartDispense
- Refurbished private accommodation with three bedrooms
- Pub garden / courtyard
- Multiple screens
- Darts throw
The private accommodation consists of 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom.

Historically, the pub was known as a really good Irish pub. The refurbishment will lean into that heritage while introducing a premium look and feel, multiple screens for sport, a dart throw, and an improved courtyard with an external screen. This will help reposition the pub to appeal to a broader and more diverse customer base, including younger professionals looking for after-work socialising, sports fans, and residents looking for a welcoming premium local.
If you’ve benefited from running or owning a pub business, the landlords would love to hear what experience you can bring. The right operator for Mother Red Cap will have extensive experience in premium local hospitality businesses, particularly those with strong drinks, sport, and community-led appeal. They will have a clear vision for the drinks range, sports offer, entertainment, Irish heritage, and marketing strategy, and can create a memorable experience for their customers.
