Pub Overview

Exciting external refurbishment planned
A refurbishment of the exterior will significantly improve the Hedgehog. Redecorations of the outside trading areas will breathe a new lease of life into this pub. Star Pubs & Bars investment will also allow for all new signage and lighting to be installed at the pub, making it much more attractive to passing trade.

Great pub in a great location
The Hedgehog is located near the town centre of the picturesque Welwyn Garden City. It’s close to all local amenities and has a high footfall due to its close proximity to the busy commuter train station. In the area, there is only one pub within a 20-minute walk, and within a ten-minute walk, there are 2,300 adults, meaning this is a fantastic location.

Unmatched potential
The Hedgehog is a well-known site in the local area. The planned redecoration and its local affiliation give the pub bags of potential. There are 70 internal covers, and the pub already provides a great food offer. The new external décor and 85 covers will make it a brilliant venue for locals to visit. All we’re missing is the right person to drive it forward.

The right operator for the pub will have extensive experience in community-led hospitality businesses. They will have a clear vision for their drinks menu, entertainment offer, and marketing strategy, and can create a memorable experience for their customers.

Trading Area & Facilities
The Hedgehog will be undergoing a refurbishment which will cover the exterior of the pub. A full list of works and pub floor plan can be found in the ‘refurbishment details’ in the downloads.

Applicants should be aware that all refurbishments are subject to final board approval, which will be determined as part of the leasing process. Where a significant investment is made in a pub by Star Pubs & Bars, an "Investment Exemption" will be required. This exemption means that the option of a Market Rent Option lease won't be available at rent review for a period of up to seven years for this site, as per The Pub Code (2016).

Private Accommodation
Private accommodation consists of 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom. Where required, appropriate works will be carried out in line with the Star Pubs & Bars Ready to Trade promise.
