Good Intent, Petersfield

Property Description

The Good Intent is a charming 16th century country pub, beautifully preserving its original features, including low beamed ceilings and open fireplaces. Its exterior boasts a mix of hung tile and painted brick, creating a timeless, picturesque facade. This well maintained public house holds a strong reputation within the community, situated amidst residential homes and conveniently close to local shops, schools, recreation centres and the train station. Located on College Street, opposite Petersfield Church, The Good Intent is nestled on the edge of the historic market town of Petersfield, just off the A3 and less than 20 miles from Portsmouth. Pub Layout At the front, a cosy patio invites visitors with picnic benches, wall seating and tables adorned by vibrant flower boxes and hanging baskets. The patio leads to the entrance, welcoming guests into the pub. To the right is the bar area, featuring a traditional wooden bar with a panelled back, wood flooring and ceilings adorned with exposed beams. The two level space is enhanced by a real coal fire and wood burner, with light painted walls and seating for approximately 34 customers across both lower and raised areas.  Customers can enter through the street or via the patio garden. On the left is a separate dining area, featuring low, beamed ceilings, soft carpeting and light painted walls, offering seating for around 24 patrons. This area leads to a fully equipped trade kitchen. The rear of the pub offers convenient access to the Ladies and Gents restrooms and a private car park.

Trading Style

The pub enjoys strong support from the local community, serving as a vibrant social hub primarily focused on drinks. With a well equipped trade kitchen, there is significant potential to expand its offerings by introducing a traditional pub menu. Currently, food accounts for just 15% of the business, but with the right approach, this could see substantial growth.
