With huge screens, top-tier entertainment, great food & drink, and an unbeatable atmosphere, our Grandstand pubs are built for people who live and breathe live sport. We don’t just show sport - we live it. From matchdays to live music and big sporting moments, Grandstand pubs are where local communities and fans come together, and where your next partnership could start.
This is a fantastic and rare opportunity to take on the Golden Hind, a recently refurbished Grandstand pub designed to deliver high-energy experiences and brilliant atmosphere. The site operates across two distinct trading areas—a traditional locals’ bar with pool and darts, alongside a vibrant Grandstand room featuring a market-leading big screen wall, making it a go-to destination for live sport and entertainment.
Located on the busy Kingstanding Road just outside central Kingstanding, the pub benefits from excellent roadside presence and strong passing trade into Birmingham. The offer is well supported by a ground floor kitchen, car park, front patio and a spacious rear beer garden complete with an external screen, giving you multiple spaces to drive different occasions and maximise trade.
The Golden Hind already attracts a broad and loyal customer base, including midweek diners and bingo players, after-school families, sports fans and weekend entertainment seekers. Weekly sales are currently around £17,000 with a strong wet-led mix (85%), underpinned by regular weekend entertainment that draws customers from further afield, alongside consistent midweek community trade.
The real opportunity lies in maximising the Grandstand sports offer—leaning into big-match occasions, building atmosphere, and creating the best place locally to watch live sport. With its recent refurbishment, strong reputation and established customer base, this is a true community pub with momentum, offering the perfect platform for an operator to continue the great work, grow footfall and further develop both sales and guest experience
We’re looking for an experienced, sports-driven Pub Partner who thrives in high-energy, wet-led environments and knows how to create standout guest experiences week in, week out. Previous food experience is essential, with experience operating branded food offers a strong advantage. You’ll be commercially focused, confident leading large teams, and passionate about using sport, atmosphere and great hospitality to drive results and make your pub the place everyone wants to be.
What’s in it for you?
* 22% share of weekly sales (excluding VAT) plus a guaranteed annual retained sum of £25K (released weekly)
* Low ingoing costs, deposits starting from £5,000 and £360 legal cost. (*deposits can vary dependant on business – ask us for more details*)
* Accommodation included with most bills covered, except the council tax & TV License (*a fee may be payable for some services such as garden maintenance)
As part of our application process, we may use Lily, an AI-powered interviewing assistant to support the early stages of screening. Lily helps us move quickly, keep things flexible for you, and create a more consistent candidate experience, but one thing you should know – all hiring decisions are still made by our people.
