About the pub

Walkley Cottage is a welcoming local pub, providing a premium food and drinks range that combines a quality pub atmosphere, live sports and social events.

A full refurbishment of this pub is planned to help you drive trade. Applicants should be aware that all refurbishments are subject to final board approval which will be determined as part of the leasing process.

Located in the Sheffield suburb of Walkley, the pub occupies a prominent position on a busy commuter road and has around 27,078 adults living within a 20-minute walk. The surrounding area already has an established pub scene, giving Walkley Cottage the opportunity to stand out through a stronger premium food and drink offer.

The pub currently has a traditional, value-led customer base, with limited destination visits. The refurbishment and new offer are designed to broaden its appeal, attracting families, casual diners and more customers choosing the pub as a destination as well as those visiting locally.

The planned investment will transform the pub inside and out, including a significantly improved kitchen, refreshed trading areas, a dedicated sports zone and a revamped garden. The scheme is designed to reposition Walkley Cottage as a strong Premium Local and build on the pub's previous ability to achieve turnover of around £10,000 per week when its food offer was fully operational.

The offer

Trade will be driven through a quality pub food offer, a premium drinks range, live sport, a year-round calendar of events and entertainment, and greater use of the pub's large garden. The upgraded kitchen will support a stronger food proposition, while clearly defined lounge, dining and sports areas will give customers different reasons to visit throughout the week.

The new offer will also include a bean-to-cup coffee proposition, helping create additional opportunities outside traditional peak trading periods.

We're also really interested to hear your ideas on how you would drive trade.
