Run a Star Pub - Rose Of England Nottingham - Nottingham

Job Details

Pub Overview

A £120,000 refurbishment is planned at the Rose of England to transform it into a vibrant, community-led pub with a broader appeal. What would you do with this pub to make it a success?

About the area

Located on Mansfield Road (A60), the Rose of England benefits from a highly visible and accessible town centre position, with direct links into Nottingham city centre. This major arterial route brings consistent passing trade and strong connectivity to surrounding neighbourhoods.

There are 1,832 adults within a 10-minute walk and an impressive 49,000 within 20 minutes, providing a substantial local customer base to tap into. The pub currently operates as a predominantly wet-led venue, relying heavily on weekend trade with limited daytime use and a traditional offer.

The planned refurbishment will reposition the pub to appeal to a broader and more diverse audience, including families, casual diners, and After-Work Socialisers. While competition is strong due to the town centre location, this investment creates a clear opportunity to stand out with an improved environment, stronger food offer, and enhanced entertainment.

Demographics

The pub is located in a busy town centre with a large and varied customer base. The current audience is predominantly drinks-focused, with scope to attract a wider mix of customers including younger professionals and daytime visitors following the refurbishment.

What we're planning & why

This is a full internal and external refurbishment with an investment of approximately £120,000, designed to reposition the pub as a more premium and welcoming community venue.

What's happening?

The refurbishment will significantly enhance both the look and feel of the pub while unlocking new trading opportunities. Externally, the pub will benefit from full redecoration, new signage and improved lighting to boost kerb appeal and attract more passing trade.

Internally, a full redesign will create a more comfortable and modern environment, including the introduction of a new kitchen to support a food offer and a refreshed layout that better caters to local demand. A dedicated sports lounge area will also be enhanced, allowing the pub to better serve customers looking for live sport and social entertainment such as darts and events.

The pub already benefits from live music, sports, quizzes and entertainment, and the refurbishment will elevate this offer, creating more reasons for customers to visit throughout the week. With premium lagers and ciders supported by HEINEKEN SmartDispense and the addition of a food offering, there is a clear opportunity to grow both dwell time and spend per head.

Why invest?

This investment is designed to help the Rose of England rebuild its reputation within the local community while attracting new customer groups. By modernising the offer, improving the environment, and introducing food, the pub is expected to increase turnover by approximately £3,500 per week, reaching around £5,500 per week.
