Property details

The Fox Inn is a traditional and attractive wet-led pub located behind the busy high street of Gosport. It is situated adjacent to a densely populated residential area, surrounded by plenty of shops and businesses. The pub and high street are approximately 300 meters from the Gosport Espanade and the Marina, which overlooks Portsmouth harbour, Gunwharf Quays, and the Solent. The pub is easily accessible via North Street and nearby main roads A32 and A27, with regular bus services to Portsmouth, Fareham, and surrounding areas, and close connections to the Gosport Ferry for travel across the harbour.

The pub comprises two separate trade areas, each with its own external entrance. The two areas can also be opened up into a single space via an internal door and are served from one central bar servery. A kitchen and food preparation area is located at the rear of the property. The pub was refurbished in 2020 and has been well maintained, with fixtures and fittings in good order throughout.

Externally, there is a patio garden to the right-hand side, providing a sun trap for summer and seating for customers. While there is no dedicated pub car park, there is plenty of nearby off-road parking, as well as a public pay-and-display car park adjacent to the pub.

The private accommodation is of a high standard and consists of two double bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a lounge. There is a separate entrance to the private accommodation, meaning it can be accessed independently.

Trading style

The Fox Inn is primarily a successful, wet-led community pub, serving a wide range of lagers, cask ales, and ciders. A sports package helps drive weekly sales, while the pub also offers darts, pool, and live entertainment to keep customers engaged. There is significant potential to develop a food offer, providing an opportunity to take the Fox Inn to the next level.

This is a well-established community pub and one of the oldest in Gosport, offering a fantastic opportunity for an individual or couple to make their mark. The new licensee will have the chance to relaunch a food offer, enhance the overall retail experience, and develop the entertainment programme to drive trade. A strong online presence to market the pub, along with a passion for great ale and fostering a community-focused atmosphere, will be key to success.
