A refurbishment in the region of £374,000 is planned to transform the Three Horse Shoes into a premium local pub with quality food, drink and community occasions at its heart. What would you do with this pub to make it a success?
The area
The Three Horse Shoes is located in East Leake, a large Nottinghamshire village in the Rushcliffe district, close to the Leicestershire border and the market town of Loughborough. The village combines a semi-rural setting with a strong local identity, historic landmarks and long-standing links to British Gypsum, creating a well-established community catchment.
Around 3,250 adults live within a 10-minute walk of the pub, increasing to 6,383 within 20 minutes. The village has a handful of established pubs, including smaller wet-led venues and a heavily invested premium competitor, creating an active local hospitality market. Following a prolonged period of closure, the Three Horse Shoes has an opportunity to rebuild its place in the community. The refurbishment will reposition it with a broader, more versatile offer that appeals to families, casual diners, younger professionals, after-work customers and people making destination visits.

With our 5 Star Promise, the rent at the start of your agreement is fixed until the end of its initial term.
Indicative entry costs
£53,456
Estimated Working Capital is an estimate of key start-up costs such as professional fees, training fee, premises license fee, F&F valuation fee & till floats. There will be additional ongoing charges payable during the term of the agreement such as property maintenance, repairs fund, SmartDispense. These costs will be outlined prior to completing a business plan and finalised at Heads of Terms.
The calculation of the Estimated Minimum Ingoing Costs assumes a minimum deposit of 1 month's rent and that fixtures and fittings (F&F) are rented. The subsequent deposit build up and F&F rental costs should be included in your financial assumptions in your business plan. Note that on FRI and Investment Tenancy Agreements deposits will always be 3 month's rent in advance and fixtures and fittings (F&F) must always be purchased. A deposit of 6 month's rent will be required for operators trading under a Limited Company with no Guarantors. In order to ensure a successful start-up, all applicants must have a minimum £10,000 un-borrowed funds.
What we're planning & why
The Three Horse Shoes will benefit from an estimated £373,757 full internal and external transformation. The investment will refresh and reconfigure the trading spaces, introduce a new kitchen and dining offer, improve the pub’s frontage and signage, revamp the garden and refurbish the three-bedroom private accommodation. The result will be a comfortable, cosy and more premium local pub designed for a wide range of customer occasions.
What's happening?
Externally, the pub will receive full decoration, new signage and improved lighting to strengthen kerb appeal and clearly signal the change in offer. The garden will also be revamped to make better use of its substantial outdoor capacity, improve seasonal trading and create a more attractive space for families and social occasions.
Inside, a full investment will refresh the décor, open up the trading area and create distinctive zones for drinking, dining and relaxing. A new catering kitchen and dedicated dining space will support a premium food offer, while the snug, function room and games or sports zone will allow different groups to use the pub at the same time. Investment in the sports lounge will support selected live sport and social activities such as darts, although food will remain the lead focus rather than positioning the pub as a dedicated sports venue.
The finished offer will combine premium food, premium lagers and ciders, a wider premium drinks range and coffee to support daytime trade. Live music, quizzes, karaoke and other community entertainment can provide a regular rhythm through the week. The incoming operator will need to bring these elements together with strong service, effective local marketing and a clear programme of occasions that encourages customers to visit more often and stay longer.
Why invest?
This investment creates the opportunity to rebuild the Three Horse Shoes’ local reputation, unlock underused areas and bring the pub in line with modern customer expectations. Improved kerb appeal, a stronger food offer, clearer trading zones and a revitalised garden will broaden the customer base and increase the number of reasons to visit throughout the day and week. The refurbishment is forecast to support weekly turnover of £12,890 as the pub rebuilds trade following its period of closure.
