Pub Overview Refurbished Premium Local pub in Porthmadog. The Ship offers a great opportunity for someone who wants to take on a well-backed, refurbished pub with plenty of potential. What would you do with this pub to make it even more of a success? The area: The Ship is located in Porthmadog, North Wales, just on the edge of Snowdonia National Park. It is a historic port town, once the hub for exporting Welsh slate worldwide, and now a popular tourist base with excellent transport links. There are 1,814 people within a 10-minute walk (1,516 over 18), but the area benefits hugely from seasonal visitors, with hundreds of thousands of tourists flocking to Snowdonia, Cardigan Bay, Pwllheli and Anglesey throughout the year. Demographics: The local population is of medium affluence with a more mature age profile. However, the large influx of tourists during the summer and holiday periods significantly boosts potential footfall. Competition includes around 20 pubs within a mile, though only a handful serve food. The offer: The Ship is available on our investment tenancy agreement. Click here for more information on this agreement. The refurbishment will deliver a fully redecorated and refreshed bar, lounge and toilets, bringing the pub back to the heart of the community. With Sky and BT Sport, local entertainment including quizzes and bingo, plus cask ales, premium lagers, wines and spirits, it will cater to both locals and tourists alike. We’re always open to new ideas, what would you do to drive trade? Attitude is more valuable than experience. The right operator for the Ship could be new or experienced but must be able to deliver great homecooked food, while promoting the pub to locals and visitors.
