Pub Overview
A transformational investment of circa £420,000 will breathe new life into The Cock Inn, creating a characterful and authentic country coaching inn. What would you do with this pub to make it a success?
About the area
Located in the village of Sibson, The Cock Inn benefits from a charming rural setting while remaining within easy reach of larger towns including Nuneaton and Tamworth. With over 200,000 adults within a 20-minute drive, the pub is perfectly positioned to attract both a strong local following and a wider destination audience.
The pub also sits on a key route to Twycross Zoo, which attracts significant visitor numbers each year, providing excellent passing trade. Combined with its heritage appeal and countryside setting, this refurbishment will reposition the pub to attract a broader customer base, including families, day-trippers, and After-Work Socialisers looking for a premium food-led experience. The Cock Inn is one of only a handful of pubs in the immediate area, giving it a strong opportunity to become the go-to destination locally.

What we're planning & why
This exciting refurbishment will see a full internal transformation of The Cock Inn, alongside sympathetic updates that enhance its historic exterior. With a significant six-figure investment, the pub will be reimagined as a premium country coaching inn that celebrates its heritage while delivering a high-quality food and drink experience.
What's happening?
The refurbishment will focus on enhancing the pub’s existing charm while elevating the overall customer experience. Internally, the dining room will be fully refurbished to create a bright, open and inviting space, forming the centrepiece of a strong food-led offer. Original features such as exposed beams, open fireplaces and decorative tiling will be carefully retained and complemented with updated décor, including artwork that reflects the pub’s rich history and local stories such as the Battle of Bosworth.
This investment creates the opportunity to establish a premium all-day food offer, from breakfast and lunch through to afternoon tea and evening dining. A well-curated drinks range including cask ales, specialist gins, wines and a barista-style coffee offer will further enhance the appeal. The pub will cater for a wide range of occasions, from relaxed drinks in cosy surroundings to destination dining for families and visitors to the area.
Why invest?
The Cock Inn combines a unique heritage setting with a strong catchment area and high levels of passing trade. This refurbishment will unlock the pub’s full potential, positioning it as a standout destination in the local area. The enhanced food-led offer, improved trading spaces and increased appeal to both locals and visitors will drive higher footfall, longer dwell time and increased spend, creating a strong and sustainable business opportunity.
