Property Description

Regional Manager Comments

The Last Post is a fantastic pub that benefits from a great location and is already a thriving business that caters for sports fans and cask ale lovers. The pub presents an excellent opportunity to enhance the already thriving trade within the centre of Harrogate, serving the best cask ales and fine wines to the affluent customer base. The successful publican will need to have the vision to enhance this operation and be particularly creative in the food offer without the full commercial kitchen facilities.
