About the Pub The Sea Horse is located just a couple of streets back from the seafront in the lovely town of Porthcawl. A wet-led, roadside business with its own car park, it has the benefit of a beer garden terrace and a large smoking shelter. This spacious open plan pub is traditionally appointed throughout, with modern finishes such as booths and fixed seating to complement the one-bar operation. The games area is mainly used for pool and darts, plus live bands and entertainment are accommodated at the weekends. The pub presents a fantastic business opportunity for an enthusiastic publican, who can drive wet sales with the provision of entertainment and social events, and establish a good rapport with the local community. Both the front entrance on South Road and side entrance on Fenton Place lead into the large, open-plan trading area. With a central ‘L’ shaped bar, it is decorated in a traditional style, and several comfortable booths are fitted around the room, facing the bar. From the side entrance, one is greeted by the bar servery, to the right of which leads around to the pool table. With fixed seating, bar stools, as well as conventional tables and chairs, the pub easily caters for over 30 covers. The space is well laid out for customers to enjoy drinks, watch sport and play pub games. The interior layout is quite adaptable, being regularly used for live entertainment and music nights, playing host to local bands. Set on a corner, the pub has two external entrances, one directly from the street and the other through the beer garden patio. The high season attracts many visitors to Porthcawl and the patio is a real sun trap which benefits from a large lean-to shelter. To the rear of the pub is a car park for 10 vehicles. The majority of pubs within the area do not provide parking facilities, so this is of great advantage for families, tourists and day trippers. Regional Manager's Thoughts The Sea Horse is a great community establishement frequented by both locals and visitors wanting to relax with drinks. The pub enjoys a good position and reputation within Porthcawl. I am looking for a publican who has good knowledge of sport and entertainment, and the enthusiasm to plan social and charity events, to ensure that the Sea Horse remains firmly at the heart of the local community. Surrounding Area Porthcawl is a seaside town on the south coast of Wales, in the county borough of Bridgend, some 25 miles west of Cardiff and 19 miles southeast of Swansea. Situated on South Road, the Sea Horse is just half a mile from the Grand Pavilion on the Esplanade. The pub is just a ten minute walk from the seafront and the beach is popular with windsurfers, jet skiers and power boat users. Porthcawl's promenade offers spectacular views across the Bristol Channel and is home to many cafes, bars, restaurants and hotels. The town is well connected for transport; the A4229 road links the town to junction 37 of the M4 motorway, a half-hourly bus service runs to Cardiff Central via Bridgend, and the nearest mainline station is Bridgend some eight miles away.
