Property details
The Greyhound is a traditional double-fronted and welcoming pub located in the idyllic village of Colton, just outside the bustling town of Rugeley, Staffordshire. Colton is an affluent village, and the pub itself is surrounded by an abundance of chimney pots. The pub has built an excellent reputation amongst the local community and is supported all year round. Rugeley Trent Valley railway station is just over 2km away and with easy access to the A51 and A513, making commutes to Lichfield and Stafford straightforward. The area is known for its peaceful and scenic countryside, and the pub is popular with cyclists and walkers in the area.
The Greyhound oozes charm with its quaint and relaxed feel. On entering the pub, you are greeted with a central bar that services both the lounge area and the main bar. Both areas have a relaxed feel with an eclectic mix of both fixed and loose seating, and the pub is a good condition throughout. The ladies' and gents' toilets are located at the rear of the building and are decorated to a high standard. The pub has a newly installed high-spec catering kitchen; although compact, it has modern equipment.
The beer garden to the front of the pub is a fantastic addition with around 60 covers. There is scope to provide additional cover with an external shelter, allowing customers to enjoy alfresco dining in the winter months. There are 12 car parking spaces to the front of the building, although many locals usually walk to and from the pub.
The private accommodation consists of four bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom. The accommodation is in good condition throughout.

Trading style
The Greyhound is a bustling village pub, which is well supported. There is a premium range of drinks with a strong range of spirits, lagers, and cask ale on offer. The pub boasts six cask pumps and is popular with real ale drinkers in the area. The food has previously been very successful with its good menu and with Sunday lunches. The new licensee may wish to relaunch the offer with a traditional-style food offer. There is no Sky Sports at present; however, it would be a welcome addition to install a pay-for-view sports channel for local customers to enjoy. The pub already has a program of entertainment; however, there is an opportunity to expand this.
This is an amazing pub that needs a fantastic licensee. Excellent retail standards are essential along with the drive and passion to make this pub the best pub around, encouraging customers to return after experiencing the great food and drink on offer. You will require a strong marketing plan that will captivate not only the community but the larger catchment area ensuring they visit the Greyhound.
