The Swan is a grade II listed building is located in the village of East Harling approximately seven miles north west of Thetford. The pub acts as the focal point of the community with the bar supporting local trade. It benefits from a spacious kitchen which should be used by the next publican to drive a good pub food offer. The Swan would suit applicants who are experienced in delivering good quality food, and who are also able to build wet trade and integrate with the local regular clientele, as well as driving in new trade.
The main bar and restaurant areas offer guests a modern and stylish environment with large amounts of exposed brickwork, oak beamed ceilings and bar and a mixture of wooden or carpeted flooring. The design of the property places the bar at the front of the building with some loose seating and copious amounts of standing space. The whole layout is very elegant and sophisticated with the restaurant having great character, highlighted by a large chimney fireplace and is able to seat 45 covers. The restaurant is serviced by a spacious kitchen, complete with stainless steel worktops and separate wash up areas, perfectly viable for delivering a rich food menu. Due to the spacious layout the pub has developed a good reputation for hosting live music and charity events.
The Swan benefits from quality external decoration which helps bring in passing trade and the outside areas represent excellent opportunities to increase footfall within the pub. Equipped with a large gravel car park able to accommodate 40 vehicles, large beer garden with both lawn and patio features which can seat 60+ people and a children’s play area, the property caters for a large target audience and offers excellent trade opportunities during the summer months.
