An investment in the region of £152,000 is planned to transform the Half Moon into a premium village local with a warm country pub feel, inviting dining spaces and a dedicated darts area.

Outside, a new signage scheme and replacement lanterns will improve visibility and help the pub make a stronger first impression. External decoration and window repairs will refresh the building, while cleaning the paved areas and beer garden, cutting back vegetation and refreshing benches and boundary fencing will make the outdoor spaces more welcoming. A rebuilt bin store and new fencing and gate will help tidy and define the garden area.

The dining area will receive new feature wallpaper, timber panelling, carpet and a section of fixed seating, alongside refreshed furniture, lighting and artwork. With 30 proposed dining covers, the space will support a focused pub food menu that gives customers a reason to visit for a meal as well as a drink.

In the lounge and bar areas, new decoration, window dressings and a mix of refurbished and new furniture will create the planned country pub feel. Timber floors will be sanded and re-stained or polished, with new flooring in selected areas. Lighting updates, a large lounge rug and work to the existing fireplace will help create comfortable spaces for customers to settle in and return to throughout the year.

A new darts board and surround, drinks shelf and refreshed upper bar area will create a dedicated games space. This gives the operator scope to build regular darts occasions alongside a programme of entertainment. The proposal includes two live events each month, predominantly live music, to help generate additional reasons to visit.

The toilets will also receive improvements, including decoration and lighting, new vinyl flooring and a vanity top in the ladies’ area, plus new flooring, grab rails and a radar lock for the accessible toilet. The upper-floor accommodation is scheduled for cleaning.

If you’ve benefited from running or owning a pub business, the landlords would love to hear what experience you can bring. The right operator for the Half Moon will have extensive experience in community-focused hospitality businesses with a quality food and drink offer. They will have a clear vision for the food and drink menu, entertainment and marketing strategy, and can create a memorable experience for their customers.

You will know how to balance a welcoming village bar with a well-run dining offer, using darts, live music and local connections to encourage repeat visits. The landlords are looking for an operator to work with them through the planned investment and help shape the pub’s next chapter.
