Our ambition has always been to be the most successful leased pub business in the UK by attracting and developing outstanding talent, supporting our lessees with industry-leading retail advice and owning and investing in one of the industry's best leased estates. Our continuing success shows that it’s the unique partnership between Star Pubs & Bars and our self-employed lessees, which produces the best pub experiences and the most successful pubs. Our operators bring their entrepreneurial energy and flair, whilst we bring a deep understanding of the market, industry-leading retail advice and a range of innovative support packages. Our Pubs In recent years we have spent £600 million purchasing all the freeholds in our estate. We have made this investment in order to preserve each pub’s individual character and secure their long-term future. We now have 1,250 attractive pubs, in prime locations across the UK. We believe this is the perfect size; we are big enough to negotiate the best deals with suppliers but small enough to offer the individual support every pub needs. We continue to invest in developing these pubs in order to attract ambitious and forward thinking lessees who will want to invest with us. Together we are developing great pubs and generating good returns for both parties. This enables us to maintain the Star Pubs & Bars estate’s premium positioning with great pubs and strong businesses, which appeal to skilled operators.

Transferring a winning formula to new pub can be fraught with problems but award winning licensees Rob and Alison Thompson have found Star Pubs & Bars are the prefect partners for multiple operators planning to expand their business. Rob and Alison know that the pool of customers in small market towns is limited, therefore pubs in these locations must offer premium quality food and drink that suits the broadest variety of customer needs and occasions if they are to survive. To put their ideas into practice they launched their ‘So Bar & Eats’ concept in the North Yorkshire town of Knaresborough and the success of their first pub encouraged them to expand with a second house. Soon they were ready for a third outlet and they chose a pub on the outskirts of neighbouring Harrogate as the perfect site for the next So Bar. There was a considerable amount of work needed to transform this old fashioned, wet led pub into a popular food destination but Star Pubs & Bars worked closely with Rob and Alison to help them realise their vision. The project enlarged and upgraded the kitchen, and creates the versatile, contemporary styled dining areas that are essential to the So Bar philosophy. Since opening So Bar Harrogate, Rob and Alison have seen all their pubs outperform local competitors and their latest pub has carried off several local and national awards including The Morning Advertiser’s Great British Pub Award for best partnership pub. or visit www.starpubs.co.uk Lucha Libra Leicester About Star Pubs & Bars Our Winning Channels Project Core Values Proposed Channel The Work In Detail Proposed Refurbishment Scheme Location & Catchment Area Customer Expectations & Behaviour Financials Case Study Contact Email your enquiry NOW or call us on 0500 94 95 96 16 Like most modern urban areas, Leicester’s city centre pubs need to cater for three different categories of customer. Daytime shoppers need a place to take break, office workers are looking for a somewhere to eat and/or meet colleagues whilst night time pub goers are looking for a lively party venue. These groups are not mutually exclusive and the proposed refurbishment will help the right operator build a loyal customer base in all these sectors of the market. In short, this project is going to significantly enhance this business, now we would like to see how you are going to use your individual flair and ideas to make the most of this fantastic pub. This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire an exciting pub business with real potential for growth.
