The Jolly Brewer has recently undergone internal investment. The pub is situated in the affluent town of Stamford, in the district of Lincolnshire bordering Cambridgeshire. It is located on a busy through road, surrounded by residential housing and industrial units. Good public transport links are available, with Stamford Railway Station only two miles away, providing connections to London. The pub is approximately a five-minute drive to the A1. Amenities within walking distance include schools, local stores, and a sports leisure centre. Stamford Rugby Club, the local hospital, and playing fields are all within two minutes' drive.
Pub Layout
On entrance, you are greeted by a central servery accessing all trading areas. To the right of the bar is a snug room with an open fire, serving approximately fifteen covers with loose seating. The main bar area features wooden flooring, traditional wooden beams, and an open log fire, creating a warm atmosphere for approximately twenty covers. The raised games lounge includes a darts board and a central pool table. Toilets are accessed through the back of the games lounge. The well-equipped catering kitchen is located through the bar. Externally, there are two car parks accommodating around ten cars in total, along with a benched patio for outdoor drinking and dining.
Trading Style
The Jolly Brewers currently operates as an 80/20 drinks-focused pub, emphasizing premium real ales, lagers, and spirits. There are pool and darts teams, and a new licensee may wish to develop the offering with live sports through BT and Sky. The food served is home-cooked traditional English cuisine, with scope to expand the menu to attract more covers.
Accommodation
The private accommodation is on the first floor and accessible both externally and internally. It comprises four spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, two lounges, an office, and a storage facility.
