The area

The Barley is located in the Shropshire town of Newport. Newport high street is a typical large market town centre, with a mix of pubs, restaurants, and local shops. It also acts as a destination for many of the outlying villages in the surrounding area. 10,000 people living within a walking distance of the pub, as well as an additional 5,000 students that are enrolled at Harper Adams University (on the edge of town) every year.

A pub business with bags of potential

The potential of the Barley lies in its ability to operate as a chameleon venue, covering all trading occasions from breakfasts through to the early hours on the weekend. The quality of the surroundings, the ability to attract a variety of customers, 127 internal covers and 108 external will make this pub stand out well above the competition. All we are looking for is the right operator....

When refurbished, the Barley will appeal to a very broad spectrum of customers due to its multi-income stream offer, including:
  • A cross-section of local society from older customers looking for a quiet drink or value lunch.

  • Visitors to the town centre from surrounding villages.

  • A wide range of draught products from traditional lagers through to craft ales.
  • A range of premium spirits supplemented by great cocktails and a fabulous wine list.
  • A home-cooked, traditional pub classics food menu with a variety of specials.
  • Coffee and Wi-Fi.
  • Weekend entertainment and DJs to maximise the night opportunity.
