More Information

Refurbishment Planned!

The Golden Fleece sits within Chesterfield town centre, only five minutes from the local shopping centre. Due to its location, the pub has the potential to attract a variety of customers from families to groups of celebrating friends. The pub currently focuses on day trade - coffees and value pub lunches are popular with customers.

Stand out interior - The pubs quirky internal layout means it is a pub people will remember, and is one of the best opportunities out there for a new operator. Daytime customers will be locals and visitors to the market and the town centre. This may be older consumers wanting smaller sized portions or a lighter option. The Golden Fleece will also attract post work groups and mixed groups in the evenings and at weekends. A new hotel nearby may also help boost midweek trade with professionals away for work, wanting a bite to eat away from the hotel, maybe a few pints and to enjoy live sport.

During the evening, the pub is known for its private functions, and there is also a small outdoor trade area on site.

Local Operator Wanted

For The Golden Fleece, we are keen to partner with an operator who understands the importance of quality customer service and food. Prior experience marketing and running private functions would be beneficial.
