The Cross Keys is a detached, well-established traditional pub occupying a prominent roadside position on Oundle Road in Woodston, Peterborough. Surrounded by residential housing and local businesses, it sits at the heart of the community and presents a strong opportunity for an operator to build on an already versatile and well-known site.

The pub offers generous trading areas that provide excellent scope to maximise revenue across different occasions. It includes a fully equipped catering kitchen, an attractive patio and beer garden, and large off-road parking facilities, all of which support both everyday trade and larger events.

There is clear potential to develop a value-led food offering alongside a strong entertainment and sports programme. With Peterborough Football Club within walking distance, the site is ideally positioned to capitalise on match day trade and establish itself as a go-to sports venue for local fans and teams.

Internally, the main bar features an L-shaped servery and is furnished with wooden tables, comfortable seating and modern lighting. The space is well suited to sports viewing, with dartboards, gaming machines, and a large wall-mounted television setup for Sky Sports. A separate games room with tiled flooring and a pool table adds further appeal and revenue opportunities.

To the rear of the pub, a bright conservatory with patio doors opens onto the outdoor trading area. This space offers flexibility to operate as a dining or lounge area, served conveniently from the adjacent kitchen. The layout supports a varied offer and adapts well to different customer needs.

The Cross Keys has a proven track record for live music and sporting events, providing a solid foundation for an operator to build a lively and engaging community-focused business.

We intend to support the successful applicant by improving some of the internal trading areas.

Examples of some of the projects we undertake in our pub estate can be found in our Investing in Your Pub Brochure here. A more detailed specification of the intended works for this specific pub will be provided to interested parties during the application process.

Our aim is to undertake the works at our expense as soon as practicably possible once the tenancy has commenced.
