Property Description

The Barley Mow is a roadside community pub situated in Birtley, just two miles from the market town of Chester-le-Street. The main source of trade is from the locals who enjoy the refreshing beer, the good quality food offer and pub games. The pub currently operates in a L-shaped lounge bar with darts and TV screens available for sports viewing and a separate dining room with 40 covers. Additionally, there is a well sized trade kitchen onsite capable of producing a good quality food menu. Stonegate Pub Partners are now looking for a publican either new to the trade or experienced, who has an understanding of the local area and its customer base. The new publican will need to build food sales by incorporating signature dishes and marketing the pub effectively.

Private Accommodation: The private accommodation comprises of three bedrooms, a lounge and kitchen and requires some upgrading and redecoration.

Trading Style

Indoor trading area

The internal trade area consists of a well-decorated, L-shaped lounge bar with seating for 20 and a separate dining section for 40 covers. There are several large screen televisions popular with locals enjoying a pint with friends and relaxing in comfortable surroundings. The public bar has darts facilities, large screen televisions and attracts customers of all ages who enjoy watching high calibre darts matches and tournaments. Adjacent to the lounge is a fully compliant, good size operational kitchen that is large enough to comfortably cater for a good pub menu.

Outdoor trading area

There is a well-kept enclosed beer garden, at the side of the pub which is ideal for families and or for a quiet drink in the summer.

Regional Manager Comments

The Barley Mow is right at the heart of the community with strong wet sales forming the base from which to grow and develop a good food offer. The pub would suit either someone new to the trade or an experienced publican, however an understanding of the needs of the local marketplace and the forecast to build food sales are of paramount importance. The successful applicant will enjoy unprecedented additional support from myself.
