Originally posted by Shadowfax   THE VIC BIKERS PUB UP FOR GRABSLeicestershire's famous Victoria Bikers Pub is up for sale, well the lease is anyway, John Commons the landlord is looking at retiring around October time after being attached to the pub for the last 20 years and running it himself for the last 12 he feels it's time to start slowing down. The Vic famous as being a bikers haunt, is also a prolific live rock venue and good eating house, camping, caravans,and motorhomes are in abundance throughout the year with bikers and rock music lovers travelling from all over the UK to enjoy the laid back hospitality.The pub lease will be sold along with all fixtures and fittings, it's a very rewarding job and a laugh a minute for the right people, training will be given in all aspects of the license trade and the pub itself.The Vic deserves the right tennants which could be a club or family, it's about someone having the right attitude and charisma to carry it on. Interested parties should send an e-mail to victoriacafe2008@...com                                                                                                                                                                               

i`ll bet that this wont take very long to go                                                                                                                                                                             

I hope some likeminded peeps take it on, would be a shame to loose another biker safe haven                                                                                                                                                                             

i had a lond convo with john yesterday, the vic is not actually for sale, john is thinking of retiring maybe oct this year maybe next, but he is gonna be very choosy who he lets the lease go to, as he wants nothing changing and wants the pub to be exactly what it is now, no figures have been discussed with the brewery or solicitors etc

Yeah. Good one :-)))
