LANDLORD INVESTMENT PLANNED!
The Fox Inn is a traditional stone-built coaching inn, first licensed in 1784, set in the centre of the picturesque village of Souldern on the Oxfordshire/Northamptonshire border. It is the village's last remaining pub.
The pub is very well connected. Junction 10 of the M40 is close by, putting Bicester Village around 15 minutes away, Silverstone around 20 minutes and Oxford around 30 minutes. The nearest railway stations are Kings Sutton (3.6 miles) and Heyford (5.1 miles), and a bus route runs about 100m from the door.
Internally, there is a cosy traditional bar (c.30+ covers) with a log burner plus a separate dining area (c.16 covers), together with a commercial catering kitchen, beer cellar and customer WCs.
Externally, there is a beer garden and outside trading area, with a small car park and additional parking on the quiet lane outside.
The letting accommodation comprises four en-suite 1st-floor bedrooms: three doubles and one twin.
The private accommodation consists of a lounge, bedroom, bathroom, and office/kitchenette.

Trading style
The Fox Inn is a characterful, village inn that balances a loyal locals’ trade with freshly prepared, home-cooked food served at lunch and dinner. The pub offers three cask ales, with rotating guest ales. Welcomes customers equally for a pint or a meal. The pub sits at the heart of village life, with quiz nights, themed evenings, music nights and Aunt Sally in the summer, plus an annual beer festival over the last weekend of August.
The four letting rooms add valuable accommodation income, supported by weddings, Bicester Village shoppers, Silverstone race weekends and walkers on the circular routes towards Aynho. There is clear scope to grow the business further by extending the food and accommodation offer to a wider catchment while protecting the village trade.
The landlords are looking for experienced food pub operators with the personality to fit into the community and the skills to run a quality food and rooms business. Applicants should hold a personal licence.
