About the area
Located in the sought-after village of Abbots Bromley, the Goats Head sits at the heart of a well-established rural community known for its charm, heritage, and strong local identity. The pub already benefits from a loyal base of local regulars and visitors drawn to the village’s historic appeal.
The refurbishment will reposition the pub to appeal to a broader audience, including destination diners, day visitors, and After-Work Socialisers looking for a quality food and drink experience in a welcoming setting. With limited direct competition in the immediate area, there is a strong opportunity to establish the Goats Head as a standout venue locally.

What we're planning & why
This investment will deliver a full internal and external refurbishment, enhancing both the visual appeal and functionality of the pub while retaining its traditional character. The works are designed to create a more open, flexible and engaging trading environment, with improved facilities throughout.

What's happening?
The refurbishment will significantly upgrade the internal trading areas, opening up spaces to improve flow and customer experience. The left-hand trade room will be enhanced with a feature darts area, new fixed seating and improved finishes, creating a strong social hub within the pub. Both bar serveries will be upgraded, including an extended bar, improved back fittings and the installation of SmartDispense technology to ensure consistently high-quality drinks.
Across the pub, customers will benefit from new furniture, lighting, décor and finishes, alongside improved toilet facilities and refreshed ancillary areas. Externally, the building will be fully redecorated with new signage and a refreshed front seating area, helping to strengthen kerb appeal and attract passing trade.
These improvements create a clear opportunity to develop a strong wet-led offer, supported by social activities such as darts and live sport, alongside a premium drinks range that can drive consistent footfall throughout the week.
For full details of the works, please refer to the schedule of works in the downloads section.
