About the area

Doctors Orders is located in a Sheffield suburb close to the University of Sheffield, Sheffield Children’s Hospital and Broomhill, with a large student population and nearby commuter parking. There are 62,805 adults within a 20-minute walk of the pub. Two main pubs sit in close proximity, with further circuit bars in Broomhill and the city centre, making this a busy hospitality market. The current offer is predominantly drinks-led and traditional. The refurbishment will reposition the pub for a broader customer base, including younger professionals, students, cask drinkers, sports fans and customers looking for an informal social occasion.

The offer

Doctors Orders is available on our investment tenancy agreement. Click here for more information on this agreement. Please refer to the 'Refurbishment Details' section for details of the investment being made. The pub is also available on an F&F rental option, and has two free cask lines available.

What we're planning & why

Refurbishment details

The planned investment of approximately £213,000 will deliver a full transformation of the pub, covering the interior, exterior and garden. The scheme will also improve the private accommodation and introduce stronger sports, games and cask-led trading opportunities.

Unlike standard terms for Investment Tenancies, we're offering the option to rent the Fixtures & Fittings for this pub. Ask us for more information!

What's happening?

The interior and exterior will be comprehensively refreshed to restore the building’s presence and create a more comfortable, contemporary community pub. New signage and improved external presentation will strengthen kerb appeal, while the garden will be upgraded to make better use of seasonal trade.

Inside, the layout will support clear sports zoning and low-tempo competitive socialising, including darts and table-top games. The drinks offer will be a major point of difference, with two free-of-tie cask lines giving the operator the flexibility to work with local brewers and compete strongly in Sheffield’s cask market. The operator will need to build a lively but balanced rhythm of the week that attracts students, professionals, locals and destination visitors.

Why invest?

The transformation will give Doctors Orders the quality, visibility and range of occasions needed to compete more effectively in a strong local market. The refreshed environment, cask flexibility, sports zoning and games offer are expected to reattract customers who currently visit competing venues and build more consistent weekly trade. Annual turnover is projected to rise from approximately £110,000 to £325,000.
