Freehold Public House In Headington Oxford For Sale

Business description

Phoenix Business Transfer Agents are delighted to place onto the market this popular freehold free of tie public house which has been long established. The business has been in the hands of the current owners since 2000 and they now wish to sell due to other business interests.

This very good business opportunity provides a traditional local pub experience with a good selection of English foods. There are 5 darts teams, 2 pool teams, and 2 football teams. It is used mostly by the local residents and therefore benefits from a loyal customer base.

The concern employs 2 part time staff who work 18 and 17 hours respectively. They are paid at the rate of £6 per hour.

The owners’ role is very hands on and one partner works full time operating the business. The other works on a part time basis, helping out where required. The business would ideally suit a husband and wife team.

The particular highlights of the business are:
• A very sound freehold property investment.
• Situated in an affluent and popular suburb of Oxford.
• A traditional pub which is the focal point of the local community.
• A regular clientele.
• Fully trained staff that would stay after a sale.
• Good financial profile and profits.
• A free house with all the benefits of buying power from various suppliers.


The concern has huge potential. In particular the turnover and profits can be increased by:
• More marketing and a more up market facelift in order to attract more clientele.
• Extending the food menu to attract more lunchtime food trade. At present only 10% of total trade is food.


The owner would be available for a business familiarisation period of one week for the benefit of the new owners if required
