An incredible opportunity to relaunch your own pub business — with an initial deposit of just £2,000 and exciting investment planned.

The Coach & Horses is a beautifully presented traditional country inn with a rich history dating back to 1590, offering a rare chance to run a pub in County Durham with genuine heritage and strong trading fundamentals. Situated on a prominent corner plot on the busy A167, just four miles south of Durham City and close to Spennymoor, the pub benefits from excellent visibility, passing trade, and easy access for locals, commuters, and visitors alike.

The pub currently attracts a broad and loyal customer base, driven by its popular all-day carvery offer — a proven food-led concept with strong daytime and weekend appeal. Internally, the venue features two main trading areas: a welcoming public bar and a dedicated dining space, allowing operators to balance casual drinking with consistent food trade.

Outside, the site continues to impress with a large beer garden offering plenty of seating, a private car park for up to 30 vehicles, and strong kerb appeal from all angles. The pub also benefits from two-bedroom private accommodation, making it ideal for operators looking to live on-site while running a successful pub business.
