This attractive village pub offers great hospitality established as the ‘first choice’ for the village and surrounding areas. The pub trades to a high standard and is a two storey brick built building with tiled roof. There is a central bar serving an L shaped trading area broken down into games, lounge and dining areas catering for approximately 35 covers in total. Outside is a smoking area and a very large garden to the rear with outbuildings. There is limited parking to the side of the property. The outbuildings and garden offer further development potential and investment is being considered to refresh both external and internal appearance.
There is a great opportunity to develop both the wet and food side of the business by expanding the real ales portfolio offering more choice, along with a traditional food offering to drive lunch time footfall. The fair and maintainable trade turnover for the site is £375,574 net per annum. £8,667 gross per week. The business is largely wet led but there is a good current food offer that can be developed further, currently trading at a 80/20 split.
Suitable Applicants: This site would suit a hands on operator, committed to providing great hospitality and able to engage with the local community. The ideal candidates will have an appreciation of the commercial and financial skills required to operate their own business, an interest in developing the food trade and an ability to drive sales through a range of activities.
