About the Pub The Earl of Stamford is a prominent, traditional wet-led community pub situated in the centre of Birstall, a suburb of Leicester. It has a strong local following, most of whom are sports oriented and has several football, darts and pool teams. The site comprises a large bar area and rear lounge that can be used as a function room, for private parties and events. There is a beer terrace and garden to the front and side of the pub, which offers kerb side appeal. There has been some major upgrades to the main bar area over the last year and there is scope to upgrade the trade kitchen, which would form part of any agreement with a future publican, allowing the introduction of a more substantial food offer. Regional Manager's Thoughts The customers who frequently use the Earl of Stamford are a mix of local workers and residents, many of whom are sports oriented. The pub supports a number of pool, darts and football teams and these form the basis of the trade, but there is further potential to introduce a value food offer and a carvery style operation for Sunday lunches. Due to the size of the pub, this would suit an experienced publican with the capability of driving an established wet led business, whilst also launching a food offer. Surrounding Area Birstall is situated just off the A46, between Leicester and Loughborough. The pub's prominent location means it is surrounded by both residential properties and independent retail outlets. A new housing development is underway in the area, as well as a new park and ride service.
