Trafalgar Public House, Aldershot

Property Description

The Trafalgar public house is located in the historic town of Aldershot, also known as the home to the British Army. Only 30 miles from London, it lies in the North-East of Hampshire and has a population of around 40,000. With great rail and road links, fantastic schools and great leisure facilities, Aldershot is widely regarded as a very popular and attractive place to live with Garrison Towns scattering the vicinity. Known locally as 'The Traf' it has strong links with the local military mainly focussing on the paras and being known as one of the last traditional pubs in the town, it boasts an abundance of military paraphernalia and memorabilia in and around the pub. Pub Layout Entering the pub at one corner, you are greeted by a large sized L-shaped bar, serving three distinct trade areas, which we believe historically would have been three separate bars. With a mixture of low and high level seating throughout, the internal layout of the trade area is very much focussed on having the bar at the centre of the space. To the right of the entrance and bar, there is a small snug area leading onto a pool table and darts board which are both very popular. To the left, is some bar stool seating around higher tables. With the pub being L shaped, it also creates a lovely enclosed, external courtyard to the rear, with seating available for around 15 people to enjoy.

Trading Style

The Trafalgar public house trades as a wet only site, however could easily provide a small food offer for functions and events for the various garrison regiments and groups. It is a favourable site for meetings and socials as well as being a good live music venue with it’s own following and regular monthly bookings proving popular. Rugby and national sporting events also provide a welcome income stream and can be very busy although Sky has not proved worthwhile in recent past.  Events for Army and Paratroopers are a necessity at this site as customers are known to come from all over the world to visit this particular venue. Participation and support of these events will need to be continued as the site is known as the pub to visit for all Paras – current and past.
