Property details
MAJOR INVESTMENT PLANNED
The Cross Tree is located in the Northamptonshire village of Byfield which lies on the A361 and is perfectly placed 8 miles from the town of Banbury and 5 miles from Daventry.
There is an open plan trading area to one side of the pub, which is large enough for entertainment, sports viewing, functions, or simply just meeting up with friends for a drink. There is also a separate games area for pool and darts. To the right of the pub, there is a more traditional trading area which is currently used as the dining area. There is also a trade kitchen on the ground floor.
To the rear of the property is a small beer garden that has been well tended and is beautiful in the sunshine and approx.14 car parking spaces. In addition, there is a detached barn outbuilding currently used as a delicatessen/village farm shop serving takeaway hot and cold snacks and teas/coffees.
The private accommodation consists of two double bedrooms, one single bedroom or office, a living room, a private kitchen, and a bathroom.

Trading style
A traditional village local public house with a supporting food offer and retail/takeaway facility in the outbuilding.
The pub is the perfect example of a real ‘Hub of the Community’ style operation, from having a drink with friends in the bar to watching live artists or a big match, it is a REAL community pub, ensuring every individual living nearby has a reason to visit. The landlords want all existing and potential customers to feel part of what is a busy, thriving gem of the community and to enjoy the pub for all occasions. The pub will need to trade with a successful rhythm of the week, including live sports, pub teams, entertainment, and a good quality home-cooked food offering. The pub will benefit from planned investment, which will enhance the already great space it currently has going for it.
The successful applicant(s) will be outgoing, lively, personable, enthusiastic, and driven, and will be as passionate as the landlords are about creating something special within the community. They will need a proven track record in operating successful community pubs and running events, utilising social media, maximising footfall for sporting events, booking live artists/bands, creating promotional/marketing plans, developing a food offering and establishing a strong position within the community all whilst developing/leading a great in-house team.
A personal licence is required alongside exceptional standards and some experience with real ale, current trends (gin, craft ale and lager, wines and cider), and organising events such as family fun days and beer/cider festivals.
