Pub Layout
Upon entering the site, you arrive directly at a one-bar operation with a good selection of premium and standard products. To the right of the bar, there is a comfortable seating area with a real fire, with central areas housing tables and chairs, and another real fire. We then move into a conservatory area used as a function room/entertainment space, followed by an outside patio area with tables and chairs on a higher level and a lower level leading to a smoking solution at the rear. There is a pool room on a raised level with hatch feed to the main bar, which doubles as a function room. Externally, there is a large disused beer terrace at the rear of the property with potential for future development, along with patioed areas with garden benches at lower levels and at the front, providing approximately 26 outdoor covers.
Trading Style
The pub currently trades solely on a wet market basis. However, there is a commercial kitchen that is not utilized. A food offer needs to be implemented and developed, considering its location near a large hospital, with significant passing trade and surrounding community chimney pots.
Accommodation
The private accommodation comprises three bedrooms, a large kitchen/diner/lounge, and a bathroom/shower/WC.
