With huge screens, top-tier entertainment, great food & drink, and an unbeatable atmosphere, our Grandstand pubs are built for people who live and breathe live sport. We don’t just show sport – we live it. From matchdays to live music and big sporting moments, Grandstand pubs are where local communities and fans come together, and where your next partnership could start.
The Mustard Pot is a well-established, Grade II listed pub in the heart of Chapel Allerton, one of Leeds’ most affluent and vibrant suburbs, just a few miles from the city centre. Known for its strong reputation and loyal customer base, the pub currently attracts a broad mix of guests from both the local area and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Full of character, the site currently features three fireplaces, a spacious internal trading area with dining throughout, and a standout beer garden that is arguably one of the best in the area. The bar sits to the rear of the pub, with an upstairs function room and its own bar providing additional opportunity for events and private hire.
The pub is currently operating as a branded premium food-led business but is set to undergo an exciting Grandstand investment late 2026, which will see a full repositioning of both the offer and internal layout. The transformation will create a more open, sport-focused trading environment designed to maximise atmosphere, visibility of live sport, and guest flow on key matchdays and events.
Alongside this, the food offer will evolve into a more accessible Grandstand menu, focused on quality bites that complement live sport and social occasions, shifting the pub towards a more wet-led, high-energy experience.
Currently trading at £15,000 per week with a 70/30 wet-led split, the pub already has a strong foundation. With the introduction of sport, a reconfigured layout, and a refreshed food and drink offer, there is a clear opportunity to grow wet sales, broaden appeal, and establish The Mustard Pot as a go-to destination for live sport and social occasions in Chapel Allerton.
We’re looking for an experienced, sports-driven Pub Partner who thrives in high-energy, wet-led environments and knows how to create standout guest experiences week in, week out. Previous food experience is essential, with experience operating branded food offers a strong advantage. You’ll be commercially focused, confident leading large teams, and passionate about using sport, atmosphere and great hospitality to drive results and make your pub the place everyone wants to be.
