The Slip Inn is a well‑presented, wet‑led community pub in Longwood on the outskirts of Huddersfield. It has a warm, traditional feel with dedicated darts and pool areas, plus TVs in all rooms showing Sky Sports. Outside, there are a few front parking spaces and a side beer garden with benches for those long summer days. The core trade is local, with a loyal following.
Current weekly sales sit at around £3,000 with a 100% wet sales mix, but there’s strong potential to grow. The Slip Inn is perfectly placed for simple, repeatable community events that encourage more frequent visits - daytime and evening activities such as quizzes, bingo, cards clubs or expanding the existing sports teams offer real opportunities to boost footfall. By making the most of match days, creating team‑focused nights and strengthening links with local leagues, an engaged operator can quickly build momentum and lift mid‑week trading. With consistent activation and a visible community presence, The Slip Inn can firmly establish itself as the social hub of Longwood.
We’re looking for a hands‑on operator with proven experience in growing trade by becoming part of the local community. You’ll be a confident networker who builds relationships quickly, champions the darts and pool teams, and creates a friendly front‑of‑house presence that keeps guests coming back. Someone with ideas, energy and a strong track record in wet‑led community pubs will thrive here, making The Slip Inn a brilliant platform to really make their mark.
