Trading Style

Indoor trading area

The décor is of a good standard and the pub benefits from a modern, fresh-look appearance throughout. Unique and traditional touches, such as the two open fire places, add to the ambience here and create a welcoming atmosphere. The split-level trade area can be accessed from both the front and rear of the building and all sections of the trade areas connect to each other along with other parts of the pub. The space is very flexible and the main area has some interesting corners, ideal for an intimate chat. Throughout both areas of the pub there is a mixture of comfortable wooden and upholstered seating and wooden tables, creating a relaxing space in which to dine or enjoy a drink with friends. There is room for 50 covers throughout. A compact bar servery is well-positioned to serve all areas of the pub and a good sized trade kitchen is capable of producing a varied menu.

Outdoor trading area

To the rear of the property is a large sunny patio that leads to an extensive grassed area, where there is room for a number of picnic style benches. This well-maintained garden is especially popular for al fresco dining during the warmer months. The car park is located to the rear and side of the pub and provides room for 15 vehicles.

Regional Manager Comments

This is an excellent business opportunity that presents plenty of scope for trade building through the development of food, a good drink offer and appropriate activities. The layout lends itself to creating a great atmosphere even during quiet sessions, whilst also being big enough to host large numbers and events. The garden and patio provide great additional trade areas and potential should be maximised here during the summer months especially. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced operator, who possesses the entrepreneurial energy and ideas to drive this fantastic business forward and really make it stand out within the locality.
