Property Description

The Kilkenny Tavern, previously known as the Holmesdale is a three-storey neighbourhood pub on a main road in South Norwood, opposite the world famous Brit School famous for producing Leona Lewis winner of X-Factor. This well-located pub attracts plenty of passing trade due to its prominent position. Customers can enjoy the traditionally decorated open plan trade area and the garden to the rear proves popular in the warmer months. There is potential to increase food trade with the right development and new clientele could be attracted through events and entertainment. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced publican or a new starter with good business knowledge.

Private Accommodation: The private accommodation comprises four bedrooms, a kitchen, a lounge, and a bathroom. All rooms are in good decorative order and of good size.

Trading Style

Indoor trading area

The Kilkenny Tavery is a traditionally decorated pub with exposed beams and wooden flooring throughout. A horseshoe shaped bar services the open plan trading area which comprises bar seating and loose wooden tables and chairs, together providing up to 26 covers. There is also a raised gaming area which houses the pool table. A small trade kitchen supports a simple menu but there is potential to develop the food offer and attract new clientele.

Outdoor trading area

There is a small patio and grassed garden to the rear of the pub with picnic benches and a fenced children’s play area. All of which prove popular in the warmer months, especially with families. A sheltered area provides a convenient smoking solution and the large car park is located to the rear with space for 25 vehicles.

Regional Manager Comments

The opportunity exists for either a newcomer to the trade or an experienced publican to increase both wet and dry sales. This could be achieved by offering promotions to encourage a higher spend from the existing customers and enticing the community at large to use the pub. The bonus of having the famous Brit School opposite could enable the use of entertainment to achieve maximum profit.
