Land at the Old Buttercross in Oakham on the market with Carrick Real Estate but lease with Marston’s will remain in place

The site of a 10-year-old town pub is for sale - but the building and business will not be affected.

Land at Old Buttercross in Panniers Way, Oakham is on the market for £2.3million with Carrick Real Estate.

The pub was built by Marston’s Inns and Taverns and a lease to its sister company Marston's PLC will remain in place until 2050.

A spokesperson for Marston’s confirmed that the pub will continue to operate as normal and a commercial lease is ‘common practice in the property industry’.

The Old Buttercross first opened in 2015 off the A606 Oakham bypass, and is part of a wider development next to Oakham Heights, which now also includes a McDonald’s, Costa drive-thru, fuel station and Aldi.
