Merry Boys Inn, Wolverhampton - Wolverhampton

With £250,000 being invested to create an exceptional sports-led experience, our Grandstand pubs are built for people who live and breathe live sport. Featuring huge screens, top-tier entertainment, great food and drink, and an unbeatable atmosphere, we don't just show sport, we live it. From matchdays to live music and major sporting occasions, Grandstand pubs bring local communities and fans together, creating the perfect environment for your next partnership opportunity.

The Merry Boys Inn is a thriving, sports-focused community pub that recently benefited from a significant £300,000 investment as part of Marston's exciting Grandstand format. Situated in a prime location surrounded by housing, local businesses and schools, the pub enjoys a strong reputation as a welcoming social hub for both local residents and regular diners.

The pub offers a fantastic sports viewing experience, making it a destination venue for live sport, while a busy calendar of entertainment and community activity provides customers with plenty of reasons to visit throughout the week. The Merry Boys is also proud to support a number of local sports teams, creating strong community connections and offering further opportunities for growth and engagement.

A well-established food offer complements the thriving drinks trade, with the pub currently achieving weekly sales of approximately £10,500 and an 80/20 wet-to-dry sales split. Externally, the pub benefits from a large customer car park and spacious beer garden, providing excellent space for social occasions and community events.

With strong trading foundations, a substantial recent investment and a prominent position at the heart of the local community, The Merry Boys presents an outstanding opportunity for an operator to build on existing success and continue growing one of the area's leading sports and community pubs.

We're looking for an experienced, sports-driven Pub Partner who thrives in high-energy, wet-led environments and knows how to create standout guest experiences week in, week out. Previous food experience is essential, with experience operating branded food offers a strong advantage. You'll be commercially focused, confident leading large teams, and passionate about using sport, atmosphere and great hospitality to drive results and make your pub the place everyone wants to be.

What's in it for you?

• 22% share of weekly sales (excluding VAT) plus a guaranteed annual retained sum of £25K (released weekly)
• Low ingoing costs, deposits starting from £5,000 and £360 legal cost. (
  • deposits can vary dependant on business - ask us for more details)
• Accommodation included with most bills covered, except the council tax & TV License (
• a fee may be payable for some services such as garden maintenance)
• As part of our application process, we may use Lily, an AI-powered interviewing assistant to support the early stages of screening. Lily helps us move quickly, keep things flexible for you, and create a more consistent candidate experience, but one thing you should know - all hiring decisions are still made by our people.
• Please note: Photos featured in our Grandstand advertisements may include images of previous Grandstand investments across the estate to illustrate the look and feel of a typical Grandstand conversion. Images used may not reflect the current setup of the specific site being advertised. All proposed investment is subject to final approval and formal sign off in accordance with company governance and capital expenditure approval processes.
