Trading style
The building dates from circa 1920, older than average modern retail units. It’s a traditional town pub but not designated as a protected historic site, and no specific heritage listing appears in available data. It’s a street-front building with roller shutters/automatic blinds quoted in one listing — typically indicative of usual town centre frontage.
To succeed, it would benefit from: a clear trade proposition (e.g., sport screens, community events, specialised drinks). Improving internal ambience and facilities (if needed) based on competitive local pubs. Possibly a modest investment to modernise the interior where appropriate.
The pub company is looking for an experienced community-focused publican or small independent operator comfortable with a local town bar. Experience in wet trade, bar operations, licensing and promotions.
- Not necessarily a large multiple — could suit an independent or small portfolio operator.
- Strong customer service and community engagement skills.
- Experience with licensed premises compliance and local licensing laws.
- Ability to drive events and promotions (e.g., quiz nights, sports viewings).
- High-quality drinks, consistent service.
- Local engagement — regulars and walk-ins.
- Potentially light food or snacks offer to complement the wet trade
