Red Lion
High Street, Hucknall, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG15 7AX
HUCKNALL TOWN CENTRE
The Red Lion in Hucknall is a wet only, town centre pub, which attracts regular drinkers during the day time and party seekers at the weekend. There is no commercial kitchen on site, so engaging with the community via events, live music/entertainment and TV sports and pub games need to be at the heart of the offer. The pub is believed to be the oldest in Hucknall and is a fine example of an 18th century hostelry.

I am looking for a strong town centre operator, who understands the day time session drinker and can move the tempo up on weekend nights. The pub requires daytime & evening activity to create compelling reasons to visit the Red Lion regularly. This opportunity might suit a first time or experienced operator, and local marketplace knowledge is essential.
