    The Nursery Tavern (Chapelfields, Coventry)

    The pub takes its name from Thomas Weare, a local nurseryman and seedsman whose gardens once stood nearby. A licence was first granted in 1852, and by 1854 the site was known as The Nursery Tavern. Through generations, it became a true community pub, known for its welcoming atmosphere and local following.

    Its distinctive position amongst the terraces makes it one of the area’s most recognisable landmarks, close to the well-known Earlsdon and Craven Street pub circuit.

    The Nursery Tavern will become the first Black Country Ales pub in the city of Coventry, joining our growing estate of traditional, community-focused pubs across the Midlands.

    We look forward to carefully restoring the building, preserving its heritage and character while bringing it back to life as a community hub specialising in real ale.

    The Opportunity:

    • A ready-made, well-maintained pub that specialises in real ale.
    • 18% of all weekly gross wet sales (equivalent to 22% of net sales) and 100% on homemade food sales.
    • Pub running costs covered by the company.
    • On-site accommodation provided, with bills fully covered by the company (excluding council tax and personal TV licence).
    • The freedom that comes from being your own boss.
    • Ongoing training and support from Black Country Ales.
    • Open-ended agreement with no fixed term.
