More Information

City centre location

The Royal Children is located in the centre of Nottingham. It’s close to the entrance of the world famous Nottingham castle. It’s also on the circuit of bars that include other craft led venues and the famous Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, allegedly England’s oldest pub featuring rooms actually built into Nottingham’s famous caves. Nottingham city-centre attracts professionals and students either for work or it’s well-known nightlife. There are also over 1,000 very well off ‘uptown elite’ that live in the city’s prestigious Park area of the city within walking distance.

Unmatched potential

The Royal Children is a well-known site in Nottingham. The planned refurbishment and it’s local affiliation give the pub bags of potential. With new kitchen equipment, the pub will be able to provide a food offer as well as tap into the existing but growing local circuit for craft beers. The pubs décor will make it stand out and clearly signal the craft offering. Many of the competitor pubs serve craft but lack the vibe of an authentic craft bar. 64 internal covers will set up the Royal Children to be the best bar in the area. This is a pub business with great potential, all we’re missing is the right person to drive it forward.

Target customers:

The newly refurbished Royal Children will appeal to predominantly young professionals but also transient commuters who come to the city looking for great places to drink.

10,000+ people live within a 10-minute walk. 

The demographics are dominated by students and young professionals who enjoy city centre living in predominantly 1- and 2-bedroom flats. 

Offer:

The newly refurbished Royal Children will have an on-trend, simple ‘with beer’ food with a focus on burgers, sharers, and sides. It’s drinks will be led by an offering of six craft beers from market leading brands such as Beavertown and Brixton. Local cask ales, premium lagers, premium spirits, and cocktails will also feature on the menu.

The students and local adults will be able to use the venue to meet up or work from during the day and meet friends and colleagues to socialise with in the evening, both indoor and out.

Monthly entertainment, such as live music, will also play a role in the pubs offer.

 

If you’ve benefited from running or owning a pub business, we’d love to hear what experience you can bring.

The right operator for the pub will have extensive experience in a high street hospitality business. They will have a clear vision for their food & drinks menu, with knowledge and experience of craft beers, marketing strategy and can create a memorable experience for their customers.
