A village centre pub, perfectly positioned in a stunning location with no direct competition. This is a true hub of the community, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It operates primarily as a wet-led business, with a focus on both premium and standard drink offers, and is designed for easy management. The pub also features a small underused trade kitchen, providing potential for a food offering.
This pub presents an excellent opportunity for both experienced operators and those new to the industry. While it currently operates as a wet-led business, there is significant potential to introduce a substantial traditional pub food offering. Additionally, the venue offers exciting possibilities for summer events such as beer festivals and family fun days, further enhancing its appeal to the local community and visitors. The ideal licensee will place the community at the core of their vision, transforming the pub into a warm and inviting hub where everyone feels welcome.
