Rigger

Property Description

The Rigger is located in a prime position in the charming village of Elton and can be found adjacent to the local shopping parade. With a recent refurbishment the pub attracts a varied clientele from the surrounding areas and offers live sports, entertainment and has a small fully fitted trade kitchen ready to offer a small value food menu. This is a fantastic example of a community pub and we are looking for the right publican as there is great potential to attract custom from a wide area and further develop this pub's excellent reputation. Available on our Beacon partnership Tenancy, an agreement which gives you the freedom to run your own pub, while we provide extensive support to help you maximise your business.

Private Accommodation: The private accommodation sits above the pub and comprises a lounge, kitchen and three bedrooms.

Trading Style

Indoor trading area

The main entrance leads to a traditional bar area; to the right is a hexagonal lounge which lends itself to a relaxed dining area with space for approximately 40 covers. To the left there is booth seating and a sports lounge with a pool table and darts board. The Rigger hosts a number of darts and pool teams which also use the pub for sports viewing. Evening entertainment is offered in the form of local bands, DJs and karaoke over the weekend and mid-week quiz and games nights have proven to be popular with the locals. The trade kitchen is equipped to produce a good all day food offer which would be ideal for the village.

Outdoor trading area

Picnic style benches to the front of the pub provide seating for approximately 10 covers. There is potential to create an enclosed beer garden to the rear which would draw in further clientele from the local area in the warmer months. The car park to the left hand side of the property has space for approximately 30 vehicles.

Regional Manager Comments

Set in the middle of the village of Elton next to the retail outlets, the Rigger is perfectly located to become the hub of the community. With this in mind, the pub would be perfect for an experienced, community-minded publican. Sport and weekend entertainment have proved very popular in the past and should continue to be part of the retail offer. The area has lots of retirees and nursing homes which can easily attract daytime customers with a simple value food offering.
