""The White Horse is a traditional Pub in Central York. It has a good following from locals and tourists and has gained a good reputation for good value, quality, food, drinks, and overnight accommodation. We are looking for an experienced operator who has had experience of managing a mutli-revenue stream businesses and understand the sales drivers in all three areas. We are open to discussions for operators who would consider taking the pub as it is now or for operators with the ambition for us to invest in the Pub to enhance to rooms to demand a more ‘boutique’ style experience."

Naturally, with a location like the centre of York, there are lots of chimney pots around the White Horse; 2,544 people within 500m and 14,625 within 1km. Also unsurprisingly, there is a broad range of consumer types and we see a bias towards younger, more trend-setter and social media influencers, which is unusual for an average area but very typical of a city centre location. However, many venues across York are targeting this type of consumer and the White Horse has seen success focusing more on other consumer types and for different occasions such as live TV sport and a food offer that compliments this with a more accessible price point.
