Bunch Of Grapes New

The Bunch of Grapes is a well-established, community-focused wet-led pub in the heart of Bridgwater, Somerset. With a loyal local following built up over many years, this is a genuine community local that thrives on its warm atmosphere, regular sports teams and strong sense of belonging.

The current publicans have run the site with great care and dedication, and are now retiring after a successful tenure leaving behind an excellent reputation and a ready-made customer base for the right incoming operator to build upon.

This is a primarily drinks-led operation with minimal food scope, making it an ideal opportunity for an operator who loves the social and sporting side of pub life rather than a kitchen-heavy operation.

The Beacon tenancy — your pub, with backup.

This opportunity is offered on a Beacon tenancy agreement, the best of both worlds for an ambitious self-employed publican. You run your own business, set your own prices (agreed collaboratively with your Regional Manager based on real local competitor insight), and keep the rewards of your hard work. But unlike a traditional tenancy, you're not on your own. Beacon comes with hands-on support built in through regular visits from your RM, access to marketing tools, EPOS technology and a pricing structure designed to protect your GP margin across every category. The drinks range is focused and commercially smart, giving you the confidence to trade efficiently rather than getting lost in complexity. This is a genuine partnership - one where both sides are invested in making the pub perform. If you want the freedom of self-employment with the support of a company that knows pubs, Beacon is the agreement that makes it work.

Private Accommodation

The Bunch of Grapes benefits from comfortable on-site living accommodation included as part of the agreement, comprising:

• Two bedrooms
• Dedicated office space — ideal for managing the business day-to-day

Living above the pub offers real convenience for the operator, allowing them to be fully embedded in the community and on hand at key trading times. This is a genuine home as well as a business.
