About the pub

The Acorn features a thatched roof and a working open fireplace. It has multiple areas suitable for dining, drinking, and pool. Currently, it is a wet-led (80/20) business with average weekly sales of around £20,000.

The pub benefits from front and back garden areas, thriving especially in summer. It is well-located, surrounded by new build houses with further expansion plans, providing a steady flow of footfall. Shops opposite the pub support the business, and Nuneaton Town Centre is only a mile away.

An existing events plan is in place and growing weekly, with opportunities to expand further.

Current senior team includes an Assistant Manager, Supervisor, and an experienced Head Chef.

• Think creatively to increase sales and growth
• Create a lively atmosphere and memorable experiences
