Property details
Located in Lee Mill, just off the A38 Devon Expressway, the Westward Inn benefits from an excellent trading position with easy access to Ivybridge, Plymouth and the wider Devon area. Ivybridge is approximately 2.5 miles away, with Plymouth around 13 miles from the pub, making the location easily accessible for both locals and visitors.
The pub benefits from a strong mix of customers, including residents, passing trade and visitors exploring Dartmoor, the South Hams and the surrounding Devon countryside. Excellent transport links are available, with Ivybridge railway station providing connections to Plymouth, Exeter and London Paddington, alongside local bus routes connecting surrounding areas.
Internally, The Westward Inn offers impressive and flexible trading space across multiple areas. The main bar provides a welcoming social environment with pool, darts and comfortable seating, while the adjoining restaurant offers dedicated dining space for approximately 80 guests, with further capacity available within the bar area. The pub is supported by a large, well-equipped commercial kitchen, allowing the business to deliver a strong food offer and providing the opportunity for further development. Downstairs, two separate function rooms served by their own bar provide excellent versatility for private events, celebrations and group bookings.
Externally, the pub benefits from a dedicated customer seating area close to the car park entrance, including raised decking, a smoking shelter and gravelled seating space. This creates an attractive outdoor area for customers to enjoy during the warmer months.
The private accommodation provides comfortable living space for a Business Partner and comprises three bedrooms, a kitchen, two lounges, an office, two bathrooms and additional storage

Trading style
The Westward Inn is a well-established pub business in Lee Mill, ideally positioned between Ivybridge and Plymouth. Combining strong wet and food trade, spacious trading areas, excellent function facilities and comfortable private
accommodation, this is a fantastic opportunity for a Business Partner to take on a business with significant scope to develop further.
With an established customer base and a strong foundation already in place, the Westward Inn provides the ideal platform for an operator looking to add their own personality, strengthen local connections and maximise the opportunities available.
With large trading areas, a strong food offer and excellent function facilities, there is significant opportunity to further develop the business through increased events, maximising the restaurant space and creating additional reasons for customers to visit throughout the week.
The function rooms provide a valuable additional income stream, while the pub’s location and accessibility offer opportunities to attract both existing customers and new visitors.
For the right operator, this is a chance to take on a pub with the foundations already in place and unlock the potential within a business that has much more to offer.
The landlords are looking for a hands-on Business Partner who enjoys running an established pub and has the ambition to build on what is already there. A passion for food, great hospitality and creating memorable customer experiences will be important, alongside the ability to build strong relationships with local customers, groups and businesses. Previous hospitality experience would be beneficial, but they are looking for someone with enthusiasm, commercial awareness and the drive to make The Westward Inn their own while continuing to grow its success.
