Crown, Chasetown

Self-employed partnership opportunity

Overview: The Crown is a traditional, wet-led pub in a prominent High Street location in Chasetown. Known for its cask ale, live weekend entertainment and friendly community atmosphere, it attracts local teams, football traffic and guests meeting for drinks and social occasions. With established weekly wet sales of around £5,500 and opportunities to develop food and accommodation income, this is a clear opportunity for the right operator to build on strong foundations.

The business: The pub offers a spacious one-room bar with ample seating, an open fire, TVs, a dedicated games area with darts and a small trading kitchen. Outside, there is a large enclosed all-weather garden with a raised terrace and covered seating. Three en-suite letting rooms have a separate entrance, creating an additional income opportunity. Key strengths include its strong cask ale following, established weekend entertainment and position on a popular local pub circuit.

The opportunity: The next operator can build on the Crown Inn’s reputation as a welcoming community pub while developing its wider trading potential. The strongest growth priorities are introducing a simple and consistent food offer to attract earlier afternoon trade, strengthening links with local teams and Chasetown FC, and making more of the three letting rooms and weekend entertainment.

Who we’re looking for: We’re looking for a hands-on community operator, couple or team with strong hospitality and people skills, the commercial confidence to develop new income streams and the ability to create a consistently friendly and welcoming pub. Some food experience would be useful to help grow a straightforward, reliable offer.

What’s in it for you? 20% share of weekly wet sales excluding VAT, and keep 100% of any food sales. Low ingoing costs start with a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal cost. Separate owner’s accommodation is included, with most bills covered except council tax and TV Licence.
