Pub Overview

Exciting refurbishment planned. The area: Situated in Bishop’s Castle, a charming market town in Shropshire, England. This pub presents a golden opportunity for investment with a population of 1,893 and a history-rich, local character that attracts locals and visitors alike. The pub is positioned so that 1,115 residents are within walking distance and faces only four other pubs.

With a comprehensive refurbishment plan including a revamped interior, upgraded kitchen facilities, and an enhanced exterior patio, this establishment aims to offer the best of British pub culture. The drinks selection features Three Tuns Brewery Ales and a menu of Great British Pub Food.

The offer: The Three Tuns is available on an investment tenancy agreement. For more information on this agreement, see the investment details.

When refurbished, The Three Tuns will offer:

  • Drinks: Our revamped drinks selection includes the full Heineken range, complemented by a Three Tuns Brewery ale, premium spirits, and a variety of soft drinks.
  • Food: A menu boasting Great British Pub Food with hearty classics to satisfy every craving.
  • Coffee: A barista-level coffee experience crafted to perfection.
  • Events: Live entertainment and events in the function room on weekends.

We welcome new ideas to drive trade and would love to hear what experience you can bring if you’ve run or owned a pub business. The right operator will have extensive experience in a destination hospitality business and will have a clear vision for their food & drinks menu, marketing strategy, and entertainment offer to create a memorable customer experience.

If this sounds like the incredible pub opportunity you’ve been waiting for, apply today and tell us what you can bring to this pub’s next chapter.
