Complete refurbishment planned

The Cuckoo Bush will undergo a major refurbishment to create a premium village local with great food. The lounge will have a full refurbishment including new floor coverings, fixed seating, lighting and bric a brac to create a much more comfortable and premium feeling dining space. The snug area will retain its existing tiled floor and open fires but be redecorated with a new window opening created to add visibility for customers entering using the side entrance and provide visibility into the bar/games area. This area will have its wooden floor refurbished as well as new wall coverings, light fitting and fixed seating.

Star Pubs & Bars investment will allow for new signage and lighting to the front and side elevations. Enhancements will be made to the fantastic rear garden and patio with new furniture and a new paved area with new covered pergola.

The area

Town-centre location    

The Cuckoo Bush is located in the centre of the Nottinghamshire village of Gotham. Gotham is a relatively small village, home to just over 1,300 adults who are mainly of mid to high affluence and typically 50+ years old. It is famous for its historical “Wise Men of Gotham” stories and for its connection to Batman’s Gotham City. There are two drinks-led pubs in the area, meaning there is no direct competition to the Cuckoo Bush.

The Cuckoo Bush is available on our investment tenancy agreement. Click here for more information on this agreement. 

The potential in the pub lies in creating a real niche as the premium food pub in the village and building on its cask ale reputation to be the drinking connoisseurs local of choice.

All we’re looking for is someone that understands the local community…
