Property details
The Angel enjoys a prominent position opposite a local park on Palmerston Road, on the edge of Southampton city centre. The pub is located some 200 metres from Southampton Solent University's main campus and the halls of residence are just as close. The pub backs onto a large residential estate, where other drinking establishments are scarce, and is also located in very close proximity to Southampton FC's home stadium.
There is a large, open-plan trade space on the ground floor which houses a long central bar servery giving ample all-round vision and ease of service to all areas of the pub. The open plan layout offers a mixed variety of fixed and loose seating along with another area left available for those preferring to stand. The commercial catering kitchen is well-equipped and located on the same level as the main trading area.
Externally, there is a fully enclosed licensed courtyard area that has heating and lighting and also has the benefit of an external projection screen. There is also an abundance of parking facilities nearby, including on-road parking to the rear.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, lounge and office with all rooms being presented in good order. The domestic accommodation can also be independently accessed at the rear of the property.

Trading style
The Angel is a wet-led Community pub, with a focus on live music and big-screen sports. The current licensee has introduced a student-focused gaming offer and also has the unusual facility of an on-site music studio which both have the ability to increase footfall from the local University. There is currently a small food offer available, however, there is massive scope to further develop the menu and maximise the use of the well-equipped catering kitchen, as well as shifting the focus back to a traditional community wet-led offer.
The landlords are seeking to secure a dynamic and experienced retailer, who is capable of developing and maximising both the wet and dry income streams. They must be multi-skilled and possess the ability to maximise the trading opportunities that this site presents.
The new licensee will also have the benefit of a full redecoration and fresh look to assist with the transition back to the traditional community pub that the landlords are looking for.
There is huge scope to turn this well-known city pub, back into a community-focused site that is famous for its great food and drink and also being a hub for live sports, particularly due to its close proximity to St Marys Stadium, the home of Southampton FC.
