Village Pub And Restaurant In Ross On Wye For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this village public house and restaurant, which was established in 1970 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 2008. The pub is only now offered to the market due to a change in our client's family circumstance. The business is currently run at a pace to suit our client and trades all year round. The pub has a wet/dry split of 50/50 and is free of tie. The Riverside Inn offers a wide selection of food, fine wines and beers and boasts 3 x en-suite letting rooms. There is the opportunity for a new owner, to increase turnover by running the restaurant to full capacity. The turnover could also be increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign and introducing a website. The business has an excellent reputation and enjoys much repeat trade. The 3 x en-suite letting bedrooms have recently been refurbished and finished to a high standard. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade with a spacious dining area with tables and chairs for up to 28 covers and an extensive outside seating area with tables and chairs for over 400 covers. There is extensive owners' accommodation to the first floor, with 3 x en-suite double bedrooms, 1 x single bedroom, linen store and bathroom. There is potential to convert the linen store to a lounge/kitchen. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already popular public house, in such a desireable location and with scope for future development. Early negotiations with us must come highly recommended.
