Property Description

The Victoria Gate, Taunton is an attractive and traditional wet led pub equipped with a pool table and darts board for entertainment. Situated on the main road leading into Taunton town centre, there is plenty of passing trade from the local businesses and a strong local trade from the nearby residents. Evening trade is bolstered by the frequent pool and darts teams who visit for the pub games and sports viewing. The Victoria Gate offers a new starter or an experienced publican a fantastic opportunity to take on a traditional pub business that has a strong and loyal drinking trade. There is potential for the new publican to introduce a simple pub food menu and offer entertainment such as discos, karaoke and quiz nights to draw in additional trade and maximise revenue.

Private Accommodation: This is a well-kept five bedroomed flat located above the pub, all bedrooms are a good size and in good decorative order.

Trading Style

Indoor trading area

The pub currently offers a traditionally decorated one bar operation and is well maintained throughout. There is a bar area with a single bar servery and a separate games area containing a pool table, darts board and gaming machines. There is an additional area offering seating for approximately 30 covers which could be utilised for dining, quiz nights and karaoke. The trade kitchen is fully equipped and functional although not currently in use.

Outdoor trading area

On the pavement and to the side of the pub there is a smoking solution with two picnic benches offering seating for guests during the warmer months. There is a convenient tarmac car park located to the rear of the pub which provides space for 15 vehicles.

Regional Manager Comments

The Victoria Gate offers a great opportunity to take on a traditional pub business and would suit an experienced publican who enjoys running a community pub. I am also happy to speak with someone new to the trade looking to run their first pub business. The previous publicans have built a strong and loyal drinking trade with many of the local residents visiting for the live sport and pub games. There is potential for the new publican to introduce a simple home cooked menu and offer entertainment including disco, karaoke and quiz nights which have proved successful in the past.
