Property details
The Saddle is a traditional pub situated in a lovely village in Fulford with bags of character in a prime location. The pub is on the main road of Fulford approximately ½ a mile from York city centre and 1 mile from York designer outlet and York racecourse. With the site being situated on the main road through Fulford it is on the bus route into the city centre, so public transport is great from the pub. The Saddle is an excellent site that is rarely seen up for tenancy given the location.
Upon entering the Saddle you are greeted with an open plan room with a central bar servery and a mixture of fixed and loose seating and high-level bar stools, an open fire creates a cosy atmosphere in the winter months. A doo takes you through to a second trading space which is ideal for dining and leads through to the Kitchen. Accessed separately there are five letting rooms three of which have en-suites.
Externally there is a large beer garden to the rear with several wooden benches as well as car parking for up to 8 vehicles.
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, bathroom, office but has no private kitchen.

Trading style
The Saddle has a cozy and community-focused atmosphere with its 70/30 wet-led split, it is more focused on selling drinks (wet sales) rather than food (dry sales). The dart board and Petanque course are great additions for entertainment, providing patrons with activities to enjoy while they’re there. The letting rooms, especially those with en-suites, can be a valuable source of revenue. It’s like having a small inn or bed and breakfast within the pub, which can attract travellers or guests attending events in the area. Managing these rooms effectively and providing a comfortable stay for guests could lead to additional income streams.
The landlords are looking for an experienced operator. The food offer ideally needs to be homemade traditional pub food to stand out from the competition. Strong marketing and social media experience would also be advantageous.
