Business History
We are privileged to offer to the market this well respected public house. The property dates back to circa 1800's and has been a pub for many years and it has been in the careful hands of our client for the last 2 years. This superb concern is being offered to the market due to personal reasons. Our client informs us that the turnover for the business is approximately £174,000 per annum. The pub operates at 73% wet sales and the remaining 27% is from dry sales where it would be fair to say there is plenty of scope to increase on that. The pub is traditional and has a very warm and welcoming feel to it and has a good number of repeat regular customers from the surrounding 5 villages but being on the main A5 it benefits from passing trade also. They have a skittle table with 2 teams and there is further scope to have a pool and darts team as well. The business is easily run, owner operated and requires no staff. During our clients ownership they have continually invested in new equipment, the latest being a new £2,500 cooling system for the cellar along with fixtures and fittings which are all included within the sale price which is a huge plus for a new owner as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. We believe that there are still areas with huge potential to increase turnover. Early viewing is highly recommended as this business cannot be missed.
