CoGoGo proudly presents to the market The Black Lion, a characterful and well-established traditional pub located in the charming village of Blackfordby.



With over 200 years of heritage, this much-loved local enjoys a loyal customer base and a strong reputation for its welcoming atmosphere, quality drinks, and vibrant community events.



The business benefits from multiple income streams, including wet sales, regular food service, and popular weekly events such as Sunday roast dinners, live music nights, quizzes, and themed evenings. The pub is also dog-friendly and broadcasts Sky and TNT Sports, further enhancing its broad customer appeal.



A fully equipped kitchen with a 5-star hygiene rating from North-West Leicestershire District Council supports the food offering, while a strong social media presence via Facebook helps maintain customer engagement. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on operator seeking a thriving village pub with further potential to expand food service and events.



Early viewing is highly recommended.



The Black Lion occupies a prominent position on Main Street in the village of Blackfordby, within North-West Leicestershire. The pub benefits from strong local support, passing village traffic and walkers from nearby new housing estates and Ashby de la Zouch, as well as its reputation as a traditional community meeting place.



The premises comprise a traditional village pub with character features throughout. Facilities include a well-stocked bar, customer seating areas, and a small but fully equipped commercial kitchen with a 5-star food hygiene rating.



Additional facilities include a storeroom with three fridge/freezers and a pleasant beer garden tucked away to the rear of the property, providing attractive outdoor seating for customers.



Above the pub is a three-bedroom flat which can be used as the owner’s accommodation. Access to the flat is currently via the pub’s storeroom.
