Our client has owned the pub for an extended period of time but has had it let out for the majority of this time. The tenant has recently left and our client is now looking for a new tenant. He is opening the bar for wet sales only on very limited hours bar to at least keep a presence on site.

This is a village pub that has a good local following of regulars. It has always been popular with passing traffic for food and the rooms, for visitors to the area. It presents a fantastic opportunity for a new operator to develop trade and build it back up to the levels previously seen.

As the business has always been tenanted, we do not have access to any trading information. Prospective tenants will need to make their own assessment of what is achievable and to that end we are looking for an experienced operator with good knowledge of the trade.
