Property details
Aylestone sits just south of Leicester city centre, with a large residential population and consistent passing trade. The pub backs onto Leicestershire County Cricket Ground, with the athletics stadium nearby and the Leicester Tigers stadium within walking distance. This creates strong opportunities around sport, events and peak trading days, alongside steady local trade.
The pub offers two ground-floor trading areas, including a dedicated sports space and a second room suitable for more casual dining. The business is currently drinks‑focused, but there is a catering kitchen in place supporting around 60–65 covers, providing a solid base for a simple food offer to complement existing trade. Sport plays an important role, with Sky Sports in place alongside pool and space for teams and regular activity.
A standout feature is the function room upstairs, which includes a balcony overlooking the cricket ground, creating a strong opportunity for private hire, events and matchday trade.
Outside, the pub benefits from a rear and side garden with plenty of seating and a children’s play area, along with a car park providing space for around 20 vehicles.
The pub includes private on‑site accommodation, comprising three bedrooms, a kitchen and a lounge.

Experienced Operator
Trading style
The Cricketers is a well‑established community pub located in Aylestone, Leicester, set within a busy residential area with strong passing footfall. It is recognised locally as the heart of the community and offers a strong platform for the right operator to build a sustainable business.
Subject to full approval, the pub will benefit from light investment focused on touch‑up decoration, helping to refresh the overall look and presentation while maintaining its current character.
This opportunity will suit an enthusiastic, hands‑on publican who enjoys being at the heart of a community and running a well‑presented, welcoming pub.
Someone who can bring energy and a proactive approach will do well here, particularly through developing events, themed nights and local partnerships to drive trade across the week. Strong standards, good service and a consistent offer will be key.
Experience in running or supporting a licensed venue would be beneficial, along with the confidence to build local relationships and make the most of the pub’s position.
