Advent Business Sales is pleased to offer to the market this extremely well used local pub, which was founded some time about 1842 and originally had its own brewery at the back of the property. The current vendor has to reluctantly sell due to personal reasons but over the last 3 years has built up a fantastic reputation which was reflected in the last accounts, showing a 50% rise in sales. The pub boasts 2 darts teams, 2 football teams and a golf society; a new pool table was introduced recently and a team may be imminent. In the public bar it is not only a standard TV but also a big screen projector TV for the bigger Sky transmitted sporting events. In the winter, from October through to April, there is a quiz and curry night, which is very well attended. A karaoke has also been in use from time to time. At this present moment the pub is only selling a wet offer including good real ales, lagers, ciders, wines and spirits but there is a well equipped commercial kitchen, which could be re started. There is definitely a call for ‘pub grub’ by its clientele. The present owner and 1 part time employee staff the business. Stock at present is kept at approximately £2,500 and from 27/12/06 – 27/12/07 the barrellage was 714 barrels. A fantastic ‘local’, well respected ‘with no trouble’ with a cosy and comfortable ‘Victorian look’, clean, well decorated and looked after – this pub has been priced, for a quick sale. TRADING HOURS Mon – Thurs: 4.30pm – 11.30pm Fri – Sun: 12 - 12 EXPANSION POTENTIAL A husband and wife team could open up the pub kitchen to put on ‘pub’ food and Sunday roasts, both have been asked for.
