Property Description

There is opportunity to develop the food trade by utilising the small trade kitchen in situ, that can help capitalize on budding areas of trade.

The beer garden is part lawn part patio, has covers for 60 guests and is popular in the summer months. Spacious accommodation is provided comprising three bedrooms and two lounges.

Trading Style

Indoor trading area

The internal trading areas consists of one large room in two adjoining sections: a long front bar with polished wood flooring and a carpeted lounge to the rear. The pub has a function room on the first floor which is not being used at present but could potentially be re-introduced to host events, receptions and meetings/parties. There is no area set up for food though there is a small kitchen that can be used to develop a mid-market menu, thus maximising the pub's trade and overall potential. There are loose fixtures and fittings in place that can provide covers for around 50 guests.

Outdoor trading area

Externally, there is an enclosed patio and lawn garden to the rear of the pub that is enclosed via a brick wall and gate. It can seat around 60 covers and is a popular spot on the warmer months.

Regional Manager Comments

Due to its close proximity to the university and football stadium, the establishment is well situated to attract students and sports fans in addition to people living within the neighbourhood. There is a kitchen located on the ground floor, allowing for food and light bar snacks to be served, especially on match days. A publican with knowledge of the local area and who can immerse themselves within the community would be well suited. Catering experience would also be beneficial to maximise the sites potential.
