The Union Inn is located in the main town centre area of Hinckley. Inside the pub is of a decent size with a central bar, approx. 100 covers with a separate pool table and dart board area. At the rear of the pub is a fantastic looking beer garden which is a sun trap during the day times. The pub operates as a locals bar during the midweek day times has pool, dart teams and a poker night that operates at night. At the weekend it has shoppers that comes in for a drink and becomes a party venue on Friday & Saturday evenings.

The pub has the opportunity for food is someone would like to invest in the kitchen and do a simple menu that gives the opportunity for food trade during the day. It is a fantastic location in the centre of town with lots of passing trade so lots of opportunity to grow trade further so all the local amenities right on the door step. 

The site currently takes on average £7,600 currently wet only but has the potential to achieve more by introducing a food offer and promoting extra drinks sales.
