Queens Hotel, Lynton

Property Description

The Queens Hotel is a deceptively large pub in the very heart of the North Devon costal town of Lynton. When viewing the pub you cannot help but be impressed by the quaintness, size and layout of the pub lending itself to many styles of dining, entertainment, pub sports and enjoying the company of friends. This idyllic coastal town sits high on the dramatic North Devon coastline within Exmoor National Park. Sitting 17 miles northeast of Barnstaple and 18 miles west of Minehead. The area is also know for the Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway which is the highest and steepest water-powered railway in the world! Pub Layout Upon entering the main entrance at the front of the pub, you will find the first trading area of comfortable tables and chairs along with a fire place and fully stocked bar. Into the next trading room, there is a further fully stocked bar servery along with a TV, pool table and darts board and further seating. To the rear you pass the ladies and gents toilets and access to the fully fitted trade kitchen. This short corridor takes you out to the rear courtyard garden laid with patio slabs and astroturf. There are a number of traditional pub benches and a gate that takes you to a large council owned carpark where customers can park to use the pub at a reasonable local charge.

Trading Style

The pub trades mainly as a wet operation at the moment with huge scope to further develop the food offer. The pub is well supported by the locals along with the vast tourists who visit all year round. The summer months are particularly busy in the town and the trade increases significantly at that time. The bars are fully stocked with lagers, ciders and real ale. There is a wide range of spirits and soft drinks along with hot drinks.

Food is currently served from 1-5pm which light lunches on offer. As the trade kitchen is fully equipped, we would expect this part of the business to be fully exploited to offer lunchtime and evening meals of a good quality.
