Property details
Located in the picturesque village of Morton on Swale, just a short distance from Leeming Bar and Northallerton, our pub enjoys a strategic position along busy arterial routes. Morton On-Swale is a historic farming village, ensuring a steady flow of passing trade from both local commuters and visitors to the area. Within a 10-mile radius, the predominant Acorn categories are Affluent Achievers and Comfortable Communities, highlighting a demographic that appreciates quality and community. This favourable location presents an excellent opportunity to attract a diverse clientele seeking both a high-quality dining experience and a welcoming pub atmosphere.
The pub boasts a spacious open-plan main bar area, ideal for socialising and enjoying our wide range of drinks. For a more intimate experience, guests can relax in our cosy snug featuring a welcoming log burner, perfect for colder days. Both areas are served by our central bar. Additionally, they offer a large restaurant/function room, providing ample space for dining or hosting special events. Conveniently accessible from the main bar area are the well-appointed toilets, alongside a sizable catering kitchen and dry store to support our culinary offerings. Located at the rear of the property, the ground-floor cellar ensures they maintain optimal beverage storage conditions, supplemented by extra dry storage for added convenience.
The pub has three ground-floor letting rooms to the rear of the business, which are detached from the main building and self-contained.
Externally, there is a charming beer garden.
The private accommodation consists of three large bedrooms, a large living room, a family bathroom, a kitchen and an office.

Situated prominently along a main road, The Old Royal George benefits from substantial passing trade, making it an ideal stopover for camper vans, which can utilize the ample parking and enjoy the pub’s facilities. Currently, the pub is a focal point for the local community, hosting pub darts teams and offering live sports coverage via Sky TV. The pub operates with a wet-to-dry sales split of approximately 70:30, with its food offering centered on a well-regarded “pub favourites” menu featuring quality home-cooked dishes.
The landlords are seeking a dedicated licensee who is eager to become the cornerstone of the local community and further develop our established regular trade. The licensee should possess a strong commitment to service excellence and high standards, along with expertise in curating a home-cooked menu and maintaining a selection of quality cask ales. There is considerable potential to expand the pub’s appeal by introducing regular activities such as quiz nights and live entertainment, complementing its existing clientele.
