Property details
The Valiant Sailor is a pretty, detached pub, located in the village of Capel Le Ferne which is on the outskirts of Folkestone. The village itself is well known for its Battle of Britain Memorial only 100 metres away and its multiple campsites, one of which is accessed via the pub car park. Giving easy access to the nearby M20, tourists can follow the main route into the Port of Dover and onto the North Downs, a popular walkers and ramblers path plus the beautiful Abbottscliffe Beach is only five minutes away.
Upon arriving at the Valiant, you are welcomed through a porch area with a smooth patio floor and then greeted by a long central bar servery with a view of all aspects of the trading area including formal dining, pub, and lounge. A separate area to the right houses televisions for live entertainment and sports including a dart board. The main lounge is directly opposite the bar with further dining and trading areas wrapped around the bar with beautiful traditional beams and a log fire, creating a warm and welcoming ambience.
Externally there is a large car park housing approximately twenty-eight vehicles and a beautiful large beer garden with a children's play area. There's a fully equipped catering kitchen on the ground floor and toilets on the left of the entrance both in excellent condition.
The private accommodation is located on the first floor and includes a lounge, bathroom, and three bedrooms all in good condition plus an office and store room.
Note: There is no private kitchen – the catering kitchen can be used on the ground floor.

Trading style
The pub was traditionally a wet-led site, however, in more recent times food has become much more important, drawing more people from further afield. A large area of the pub allows internal dining and when the weather is good this is enhanced by the large grassed beer garden. Community values are at the heart of the Valiant and food plays a large part in promoting the site as the local place to eat.
The landlords are seeking a dynamic operator or couple to continue to build on the reputation of the pub for good value for money food, which will in turn help to increase footfall from the wider area. You will be experienced, with a strong food background and excellent front of house standards to build upon the business development at this site which has already grown in the last three years.
