The Cannon was recently refurbished and is in fantastic condition throughout. It is situated just on the edge of Wellingborough town centre, very close to bookmakers, various food outlets, and convenience stores. It is also within reach of town centre shopping and food/drink outlets. New signage, outside lighting, and a fresh, inviting décor have been added, making the pub look great. It is a little gem waiting to be polished.
Wellingborough is a historic market town in North Northamptonshire, England, roughly 11 miles east of Northampton and about 65 miles north of London.
Pub Layout
The pub has been transformed after investment and is in excellent condition. The furniture includes both loose and fixed items, complemented by carpeted areas for a cosy feel and wooden flooring. The well-positioned bar ensures smooth service during busy evenings. Externally, the pub features a paved enclosed outside space with enclosed pods for winter months.
Trading Style
The pub hosts local darts and pool teams during the week, with free pool nights on Wednesdays for locals. The Cannon is known for its welcoming and lively atmosphere, especially at weekends, with varied entertainment including live artists, DJs, and karaoke. It has a 1am license on weekends, which should be maximized. The pub aims to be more than just a drinking spot; it should become the community's heart, with active involvement in local life, regular fundraisers, and support for community groups.
The pub offers a varied product range with a great selection of category-leading products and numerous weekly promotions, ensuring excellent value for customers. Opportunities exist to increase weekly sales by developing a regular rhythm of events like quiz nights and board game afternoons.
