Are you ready to take the helm of one of Loughborough’s most beloved pubs?
The Boat Inn, located on Meadow Lane in the heart of Loughborough, is seeking a passionate and driven operator to lead this vibrant community pub into its next chapter. Known for its friendly atmosphere, extensive drinks range, and loyal local following, The Boat Inn is a cornerstone of the town’s social scene.
The Boat Inn is 100% wet with sales of around £6,000 weekly. It attracts a diverse crowd—from local regulars and students to families and canal walkers. With a strong reputation for warm service and a relaxed vibe, it’s a true community hub with untapped potential for growth.
There is scope to increase the sales in this site through putting in a food offering and by expanding events & live entertainment as well as seasonal events to attract sports viewers. Also, there is a great outdoor space to be maximised in the warmer months.
With its rich heritage and waterside charm, it offers a unique opportunity for an operator to lead a venue that blends tradition with vibrant local life.
We’re seeking a passionate and driven operator—whether an experienced hospitality professional or an ambitious newcomer—who’s ready to make The Boat Inn their own. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment, understand the importance of community, and bring energy and creativity to the role.
What’s in it for you?
* 20% share of weekly wet sales, excluding VAT.
* Keep 100% of the food sales.
* Low ingoing costs, starting with just a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal cost. (*deposits can vary dependant on business – ask us for more details*)
