The New Inn offers an opportunity to build on its established food and occasion trade while placing a greater emphasis on developing a strong, sustainable wet-led business. Sunday lunches and wakes are important parts of the pub’s existing trade, supported by its proximity to Westerleigh Crematorium, and there is scope to maintain and develop these with a focused, quality food offer that complements the drinks business.

Cask ale should remain an important part of the offer, alongside opportunities to grow regular local custom through darts, monthly entertainment and community-focused events. The two distinct trading areas provide flexibility to accommodate dining and occasion-led trade while maintaining the atmosphere of a traditional, welcoming village pub. The focus should be on creating a pub that gives the local community plenty of reasons to visit, with great hospitality, a quality drinks offer and food that works commercially for the business.

The pub does not currently rely on Sky Sports or a pool offer, leaving the incoming Licensee the opportunity to shape the entertainment and activities around the preferences of the local community.

This is a rare opportunity to take on a well-supported community pub, becoming available following the sad passing of the previous landlord. The incoming licensee will have the opportunity to build on the strong foundations already established, maintaining the pub’s existing trade while bringing their own ideas and ambition to its future. The vision for the New Inn is to continue establishing it as a welcoming, quality village pub, with a balanced food and drink offer and a strong emphasis on building sustainable wet-led trade.

The landlords are looking for a hands-on, community-minded licensee who can deliver great hospitality while creating a commercially successful business. Previous food experience would be a real advantage, particularly someone confident in developing a focused food offer that complements the pub’s core drinks trade and appeals to the local market.

Sunday lunches should remain a key part of the weekly trade, alongside the established wakes and occasion business, supported by the pub’s proximity to Westerleigh Crematorium. There is also plenty of scope to grow regular local custom through a quality cask ale offer, monthly entertainment, darts and community-focused events, creating a pub that gives people a reason to visit throughout the week.

With a large commercial kitchen, 50-plus-cover trading area, traditional open fire, car park and outside patio, the New Inn offers an incoming licensee plenty of opportunity to make their mark. The ideal person will bring strong local knowledge, confidence in food and drink, and a visible, hands-on presence both behind the bar and within the community, building on what is already a valued local pub.
