Traditional Public House On Cumbrian Coast For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this traditional public house, which was established in 1900 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 2007. The pub is only now offered to the market due to our clients' other business interests. The business trades all year round and generates a turnover in the region of £145,000 per annum with a gross profit of 51% derived from bar sales, restaurant services and 4-star rated 2-bedroom letting accommodation. The pub has a wet/dry split of 37/63 and is free of tie. We feel the turnover could be increased by extending the range of general convenience lines, which have been recentley introduced due to there currently being no competition in the village. There is also the opportunity to extend the menu and embark on a modest marketing campaign. The business has an excellent reputation and receives much repeat trade. The premises boast 1-bedroom owners' accommodation with lounge and kitchen. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy public house with 4-star rated letting accommodation and scope for future growth. Early negotiations with us come highly recommended.
