Industry Inn, Chesterfield

The Industry is a large detached building located in Stonegravels, just a 5 minute walk from Saltergate, Chesterfield.  It is one of two pubs in the area catering for an immediate population of 401, widening to the extended population of Chesterfield of 10,900. The pub is surrounded by housing, shops and amenities which are all within walking distance as well as local schools. There is also a well-established popular cask ale house which helps drive footfall in the area. Chesterfield is a market town in Derbyshire located approximately 24 miles north of Derby.

Pub Layout

The main entrance to the pub is approached via the beer garden which has several benches for external drinking. Along the corridor, passing the ladies and gents toilets you will be greeted by the main bar area. The pub trades from a central bar servicing three separate trading areas. To the front of the pub there is a bar decorated to a good standard with TVs and an open fire for those cosy evenings. To the rear of the pub there is a room with comfortable seating which could facilitate approximately 20 covers and houses a dart board, alongside an additional room which makes a great games area complete with a pool table. The pub also benefits from having a commercial kitchen supporting the opportunity to develop a good food offering. To the rear, there is a beer garden with benches and a car park for up to eight cars.

The Industry is currently being ran as a wet only business, with scope to introduce a food offering and bring back it’s reputation for a good home cooked Sunday lunch. It is a local community pub that has scope to build on televised sports such as Sky & BT and build on a loyal customer base with both darts and pool teams.
