Property details
The Bat & Ball is a rustic rural pub with a country farmhouse feel and has nine letting rooms. It’s located in the village of Cuddesdon, South Oxfordshire, and is only eight miles from Oxford City Centre. The village and surrounding hamlets of Denton and Chippinghurst have a population of around 500. Cuddesdon is also home to Ripon College, the largest Church of England clergy training centre.
The pub is a single bar operation with a long servery which you see once you walk through the door. The bar has mixed seating of sofas, stools, and high tables at the opposite end. The restaurant area to the right of the bar has 45 covers with a further 20 in the patio beer garden area to the rear. The pub has some beautiful features including flagstone flooring and wooden beams. There are nine letting rooms which are all nicely decorated. This a key income stream for the pub and most weeks the rooms are booked out. You access the rooms across the courtyard, and they are in two locations around the pub and kitchen trading area. The kitchen here is large and well equipped and can easily cater to both the guests staying over for B&B and evening meals along with customers visiting for food and drinks.
There is parking for approximately 12 cars behind the garden as well as roadside parking in the village.
There is no private accommodation at this site, however there are nine letting rooms.
Cask Ale
Catering Kitchen
Trading style
The letting rooms are the main income stream. There is currently no food being served and the opportunity for this business is to re-establish the pub with a new menu and focus on driving the wet sales to complement the consistent accommodation bookings. This pub is run traditionally with cask ale being a big point of interest here.
The landlords are looking for an experienced licensee who has previous experience in similar properties. This let will need a specialist operator who is very well funded and has experience in running a large rural site with letting rooms. There is currently no food being served here and wet sales will be the smallest profit opportunity. Whoever takes this pub on will need to demonstrate a skillset of re-establishing a business and getting the food offer up and running.
