Traditional Public House In Great Yarmouth Norfolk For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this busy traditional public house, which was established in the 1600s and which has been in our client's careful hands since 1995. The public house is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades 7 days a week, generating a turnover in the region of £100,000 per annum with a gross profit of 52%, derived from an extensive range of real ales, fine wines and spirits. The St John's Head are proud to have been continually listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide, longer than any other pub in the area. There is an exceptional range of real ales available with a continually changing selection of guest ales. The pub shows live sports and is licenced for recorded and live entertainment. The business is well-supported by the local community and enjoys much repeat trade. There is a website in place promoting the business, ales available and contact details. The centrally heated premises boast spacious 3-bedroom owners' accommodation to the first floor, with lounge, kitchen and bathroom. We feel the turnover could be further increased from the introduction of food, as we believe there is the demand. There is also scope to extend the opening hours and host entertainment nights. We feel us must come highly recommended.
