About the pub
The Ash Tree boasts a beautiful canal-side location with an impressive garden—just two miles from Rugeley town center. Its garden is a major attraction, featuring an external bar and seating for 150, and is considered one of the best in the area. The pub also has a large car park at the front.
Inside, there are two main trading areas: a lively bar with gaming machines, comfy seating, and a TV, and a dining area with an open fireplace, both served by a large L-shaped bar. The pub currently averages weekly takings of approximately £16,000, with potential to reach £25,000–£28,000. It is currently 58% food and 42% wet sales.
