Exciting changes are on the horizon for our beloved community pub! With the potential to become the heart of the community we need someone special to lead the way—a passionate, friendly, and enthusiastic licensee.  If you thrive on hosting local sports teams, relish showing sports events, and have the knack for delivering a classic food menu, then you might be exactly the person we’re looking for!

What would you do with this pub to make it a success?

The area

The Wheel Inn is located in the heart of Oadby, it is a friendly community pub. Oadby, a small market town near Leicester, buzzes with life thanks to its diverse population.  There are around 4,900 adults within a 10 min walk time, with the majority of the footfall in the age 35 – 54 brackets. There are two main competitors within the community segment and the Wheel Inn is one of 6 pubs within a 10 – 20 mins walk time.

The Wheel Inn provides a cozy escape from the daily grind, offering an honest and unpretentious atmosphere. And if you step outside, you’ll find a unique courtyard—a sunny oasis where customers can enjoy sports on the outside screen.

The Wheel Inn is more than just a pub—it’s where friendships flourish and memories are made.

The offer

With the introduction of a simple food menu of great pub classics there will be something to please everyone.  It offers an extensive drink selection, including low and no-alcohol options, craft beers, and stouts. Additionally, they provide a wide range of soft drinks and coffees.

Throughout the week, customers can enjoy a lively atmosphere with full sports coverage and live entertainment. The pub has its own sports teams.

We’re always open to new ideas, what would you do to drive trade?

The right operator for the pub will have extensive experience in a similar hospitality business.
