Business for Sale Overview:
Advent Business Sales is delighted to have been instructed to offer to the market this quite exceptional free of tie public house with huge potential.
This Grade Two listed public house which dates back to Oliver Cromwell times, (circa 1,600), has been in the hands of the current owners for over 6 years and is only now being reluctantly offered for sale as they plan to retire.
During their ownership, the vendors have meticulously refurbished part of the pub and transformed the extensive gardens to such an extent that customers travel from far and wide to admire the outstanding views which can extend to over 45 miles away on a clear day.
Stock at cost is approximately £4,000. The sales are split approximately 35/65 wet/dry.
The restaurant has 60 covers and a further 20 outside on the terrace. On fine days and evenings, the terraced tables are requested first as diners here can fully appreciate the magnificent view.
They have an extensive menu including:
Lunchtime menu – lighter bites.
Hot and cold sandwiches as well as starters and main courses.
Dinner menu – starters, mains, pasta, grills, fish and vegetarian options.
The business employs 3 full time in the kitchen, a full time barmaid, a full time handyman and numerous part time staff who only work a few hours each.
They achieve annual sales of approximately £300,000 and an above average gross profit, which reflects the fact that they are free of all ties.
This is an absolutely fantastic opportunity for a husband and wife team, who are able to maximize the potential which this wonderful pub offers.
Whoever views it will want to live there because the view is so uplifting.
