The Duke Inn12 Duke Street, Sutton Coldfield B72 1RJ

Why invest? • Contemporary Refurbishment Planned – Exciting refurbishment works will vastly enhance the already characterful Duke Inn, positioning it as a vibrant and quirky pub with a modern finish. External works will reignite the pub’s frontage to be a key and shining feature, and internal works will create a single trading space with the ability to meet customer’s needs at all points of the day, featuring reclaimed timber and cracked leather finishes. Further to this, an improved beer garden and brand-new kitchen will moreso enhance the venue, sure to make The Duke Inn an exceptional community pub, offering something to locals that can usually only be found in larger cities.

• Great Location – Located on the outskirts of the affluent Royal town of Sutton Colfield, The Duke Inn occupies an area of high footfall being surrounded by a mix of residential housing and shops. The town itself has fantastic demographics, with 16,000 people living within 1 mile, 73% of whom are ABC1’s. Furthermore, the nearby health centre, school and local football club ensures a steady and lucrative stream of passing trade both day and night.

• Fantastic Potential – A tasteful enhancement with new attractive frontage, one of the best outdoor spaces in the area (which will be further enhanced by a secret garden entrance), and great cask ales and craft beers will position The Duke Inn as the standout pub in Sutton Coldfield. The beautiful beer garden is one of the best in the area, and will be a huge pull throughout the warmer months. Inside, a brand-new quality food offering that can be enjoyed in vibrant surroundings will breathe new life into this charming pub. This is a pub with great potential, all we’re missing is the right person to drive it forward. So, could that be you?
