White Hart, Melton Mowbray

Property Description

The White Hart is located on one of the main roads into the town, and is ideally situated for access to the  main shopping areas and the famous market square. Melton Mowbray (usually referred to locally as just Melton) is famous for the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie and as the centre of Stilton Cheese production. Melton Mowbray is also recognised as the “Rural Capital of Food” with foodies from near and far going to visit bringing lots of custom into the area for local businesses. Pub Layout The White Hart has a traditional feel to it but has been decorated tastefully, making a welcoming space inside. It is a large open plan operation, split into two levels. The lower level to the front of the premises is currently laid out for casual drinking, live entertainment and sports viewing, with the upper section towards the rear being geared for activities such as pool, darts, pub team games, sports viewing and vertical drinking. The trading area has a long well-stocked bar servery to cater for all, with a variety of popular products. Adjacent to the bar servery is a fully compliant catering kitchen which is not currently in use, but could easily service a simple food offer.    

Trading Style

The pub currently trades as a wet only sports pub, majoring on a well-presented draught range and a good range of other popular products. There is no food offer at present, but there is the opportunity to develop a simple hot and cold snack food menu from the catering kitchen. Retaining current regular trade and increasing the number of pub teams (pool, darts, crib) would be key to building a strong mid-week trade, as well as running an entertainment programme at the weekends to attract both existing and new patrons.
