Location:

The Stags Head Inn is located in the picturesque East Yorkshire hamlet of Lelley.  It is situated on Main Street where it is the only pub within the parish. Lelley is located in the countryside eight miles west of the Yorkshire coast, eight miles east of Hull and 10 miles northwest of Withernsea.

The area is particularly popular with ramblers, walkers, cyclists and holidaymakers due to its plethora of accommodation venues, caravan parks and campsites. Although The Stags Head Inn is the principal amenity within the hamlet, the £9.6 million Lelley Fields Crematorium (which opened in 2023) also brings visitors to the area. 

Property:

Purported to date back to the mid 1800s, The Stags Head Inn occupies a two-storey, detached property. It has been tastefully renovated to a high standard in a style that is sympathetic to the age of the building.

It is of brick construction under a pitched tile roof and boasts attractive rendered walls. Please note: the building is not listed, nor is it located within a conservation area.

Business:

Our clients have operated The Stags Head Inn since June 2018 and acquired the freehold in 2020. This 'turnkey' business is renowned for its agricultural clientele that consists of shoot parties, farmers and dog walkers. Open seven days a week, The Stags Head Inn serves a traditional ‘British classics’ food menu and hosts private functions such as wedding receptions, birthday parties, christenings, baby showers and wakes.  A number of community events such as live music nights and bingo evenings are also held at the venue. The premises are operated by our husband and wife clients alongside four full time and 14 part time staff; the trade split is 70/30 in favour of food.  Year end accounts for February 2026 show a net turnover of £1,050,430 resulting in a net profit of £33,884 and an EBITDA/adjusted net profit of £217,774.
