Widely recognised as one of the oldest pubs in Lowestoft, this well-established venue offers a unique opportunity to operate a traditional pub just moments from the Suffolk coastline.
Full of charm and period features, the pub boasts a welcoming atmosphere with exposed wooden beams, an open fire and flexible trading spaces that cater to a wide range of customers. The main lounge bar provides a cosy setting for casual drinks and socialising, while the separate conservatory dining and function room offers additional opportunities for food service, private events and community gatherings.
With a strong wet trade, established local following and excellent scope to develop food, entertainment and events, The Trowel & Hammer presents an exciting opportunity for an ambitious operator to build on its heritage and reputation.
