Thriving Public House In Darlington County Durham For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this thriving public house, which was established in 1780 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 1998. The pub is only now offered to the market due to our client's family commitments. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £220,000 per annum with a gross profit of 45%. The George offers a wide range of real ales, fine wines and spirits, along with a selection of food. We feel the turnover could be further increased by promoting the business through a modest marketing campaign. We have been advised that the restaurant side of the business is currently sub let. There is the opportunity to extend the range of food available and run the restaurant with the pub. There is also the opportunity to introduce a website to generate more trade. The business has an excellent reputation and is renowned for its quality service and beverages. The premises boasts 5-bedroom owners' accommodation with lounge, bathroom and 2 kitchens. Early discussions with us must come highly recommended.
