Freehold Public House in Somerset For Sale

Business description

Bag a Business Ltd is delighted to offer for sale the Castle Inn. The property has been a public house for over 100 years and has been in our clients' careful ownership since 2003. During their ownership they have upgraded and refurbished the property, as well as creating a further bar area and pool room from the old skittle alley, which now includes a professional sound system and is very popular for parties and functions. Our clients have extended the private accommodation through the addition of a conservatory style kitchen and new quality units and fittings. The Castle Inn is strongly supported by the local population with live sporting events being shown. The business benefits from a fully fitted commercial kitchen and 30 cover restaurant, which are currently not in use, therefore giving new owners the opportunity to introduce food sales. There is also potential to create an 'al-fresco' dining area to the side of the restaurant. The turnover is currently £160,000 per annum, achieving a gross profit of 50%. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a town centre freehold public house within a delightful Somerset town. Early discussions with Bag a Business Ltd must come highly recommended.
