Property details
The Old Forge Inn is a gorgeous, late 15th-century building on the edge of Whitminster Village with a prominent roadside presence. Whitminster is a village and civil parish in Gloucestershire, on the A38. It’s about 10 km south of Gloucester and 10 km northwest of Stroud. Whitminster is a fast-growing village close to the M5 motorway, with Bristol, South Wales, and the South Midlands all within an hour’s drive. Recent developments are taking place, boosting the population. Whitminster is ten minutes from Slimbridge Wildlife Trust and twenty minutes from Cheltenham.
You’ll be taking the reins of a spacious bar with two trading areas. The main bar offers space to dine and a separate trading space currently containing a pool table. The pub boasts tasty cask ales and cask marque accreditation, lagers, ciders and ales on draught, wines, spirits, and soft drinks. If you enjoy hosting events, this is the pub for you. Guests love the live music events, karaoke, parties on the patio, and festivals. They also enjoy home-cooked traditional pub food and popular Sunday lunches.
The recently invested garden area oozes trading potential with a fixed pergola, providing lots of seating for guests to relax and enjoy in the summer and to nestle in the heated smoking area during winter and late summer evenings. The pub has a large car park for twenty vehicles, a spacious beer garden, and picturesque views of the surrounding areas.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a private kitchen, and a lounge.
