Thriving Public House And Restaurant In Hampshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving public house and restaurant, which was established in 1876 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 1999. The pub is only now offered to the market due to our client's other business interests. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £390,000 per annum. The pub offers a traditional menu and also hosts quiz nights, crib nights and is home to football and darts teams. We feel the turnover could be increased by introducing a pool table and team as we are advised that there is demand. There is a website in place promoting the pub and food menus. The business has an excellent reputation and a loyal customer base enjoying much repeat trade. There is 1 acre of land with stables, which could be utilised for events. The premises boasts 2-bedroom owners' accommodation to the first floor with lounge, kitchen and a bathroom. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already thriving public house and restaurant with scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
