Village Public House In Penruddock Cumbria For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this village public house, which was established in 1890 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 2006. The pub is only now offered to the market due to our client's other business interests. The business trades 7 days week and generates a turnover in the region of £276,000 per annum, derived from real ales, fine wines, spirits, full restaurant services and the letting of 5 guest bedrooms. The pub has a darts team and a dominoes team. We feel the turnover could be further increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign. The business has an enviable reputation and enjoys much repeat trade. The pub was awarded with 5 star food hygiene rating and is recommended by numerous guide books. There is a website in place, advertising services and accommodation provided, with online booking facilities. The premises have been well-maintained and finished to a high standard throughout. There is also 2-bedroom owners' accommodation. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy public house with scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
