Wakefield, a cathedral city in West Yorkshire, England, sits on the River Calder and has a growing population, recorded at 109,766 in the 2021 census. As the administrative centre of the wider Metropolitan Borough of Wakefield, which had a population of 357,729 in 2022, it holds an important place in the region, being part of the West Yorkshire Built-up Area and the Yorkshire and The Humber region.

Gaining city status in 1888 due to its cathedral, Wakefield is known for its historical significance. It was a site of the Battle of Wakefield during the Wars of the Roses and a Royalist stronghold during the English Civil War. The city's market town roots, tied to wool trading, grew through its advantageous location on the River Calder, making it an inland port. By the 18th century, Wakefield was a trading hub for corn, coal, and textiles, contributing to its economic growth.

To succeed here, you need to be friendly, outgoing, and truly passionate about not only the business but the people it serves. If youre someone who loves building connections, becoming a beloved part of the community, and running a lively, people-centric pub, this is the perfect opportunity for you

One of the advantages with This site is that it has a four bedroom situated on the 1st floor along with an office kitchen and living room a very spacious area.

I love this site from its location to the warm, welcoming atmosphere you feel the moment you walk through the doors. The sense of community is truly special, with regulars who know each other by first names, creating a cosy, friendly environment that feels like home. Its the perfect place to sit, relax, and let the day pass by.

I truly believe that with the right operator, this business has immense potential to thrive. The current climate presents challenges, but with the community spirit here, they can be faced head-on. The pubs core trade happens during the day, which is a testament to its role as a genuine community hub, rather than a late-night venue. This is a pub that lives and breathes its local roots, and with the right care and passion, its poised for great success.
