Pub Overview
A £200,000 refurbishment is planned to transform the Murrayfield into a premium local pub with a refreshed look and broader appeal. What would you do with this pub to make it a success?
About the area
Located on a busy high street in Edinburgh, the Murrayfield benefits from a prime position within easy walking distance of Murrayfield Stadium, drawing in regular footfall from major rugby fixtures and large-scale concerts. With 4,563 adults within a 10-minute walk and over 30,000 within 20 minutes, the pub sits in a well-populated catchment with strong potential for both local trade and event-driven visits.
The current customer base relies heavily on weekend and event-led trade, with limited daytime use. Following refurbishment, the pub will be repositioned to appeal to a broader and more diverse audience, including families and casual diners, while increasing everyday footfall and destination visits. The Murrayfield sits in a competitive but opportunity-rich area, with only a handful of nearby pubs, giving it strong potential to stand out with the right offer.
Demographics
The area offers a strong mix of local residents and event-driven visitors, creating opportunities to build a balanced trading pattern across the week. The refurbishment will help the pub tap into a wider audience, increasing its appeal beyond its current reliance on peak trading times and major stadium events.

This £200k investment will see a full internal and external refurbishment, transforming the Murrayfield into a more inviting, premium local pub with improved kerb appeal and a stronger, more coherent offer.
What's happening?
The refurbishment will deliver a complete refresh of both the internal trading space and the external frontage. Updated externals will significantly improve kerb appeal, helping the pub stand out on the high street and attract more walk-in customers. Internally, a full redesign will create a more cohesive and premium environment, enhancing both the drinking and dining experience.
These improvements will open up opportunities to broaden the pub’s appeal, shifting it from a largely event-driven business to one that drives consistent trade throughout the week. The upgraded environment will support a stronger food and drink offer and encourage more destination visits, particularly from families and casual diners.
Why invest?
This transformation is designed to reposition the Murrayfield within the local market, sitting above traditional wet-led pubs and just below premium competitors. By improving both the look and feel of the pub and broadening its appeal, the refurbishment is expected to drive increased footfall, longer dwell time and higher spend per visit, with projected turnover reaching £8.8k net per week.
