Property details
Set in the heart of Essex, the William Boosey is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious operator to build a standout destination dining village pub & restaurant, just six miles north-east of Chelmsford, in Hatfield Peverel.
Positioned between Boreham and Witham on the A12, Hatfield Peverel offers the ideal blend of village charm, local loyalty and passing trade. With its established community, attractive surroundings and excellent accessibility, the location provides a strong platform for an operator to create a pub that serves both residents and diners travelling from further afield.
Known locally as the William-B, the pub offers substantial and versatile trading space, including the main bar, study, parlour and chef’s private table, with space for approximately 90 covers internally. The commercial kitchen is well-sized and fully equipped, supported by external walk-in fridge and freezer rooms, while the large ground-floor cellar provides practical ease of operation.
Externally, the enclosed trade garden creates further opportunity to grow the dining offer, with space for around 90 alfresco covers during the warmer months. Customer parking sits to the side of the property, with additional overflow parking/garden space rented locally, and two separate outbuildings add flexibility.
The family-friendly private accommodation includes four bedrooms, a large lounge, a kitchenette, a bathroom and a toilet, with an added bonus of a private garden and car park.

Trading style
This is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on, food-led operator to re-establish the William Boosey as a true destination dining venue while reconnecting it with the local community. The ideal operator will bring strong hospitality and food credentials, a clear vision for quality dining, and the energy to create events, occasions, and experiences that will encourage villagers to return regularly, while also attracting diners from the wider area. It would particularly suit a chef operator or an experienced hospitality professional with the ability to deliver a compelling food offer, build local loyalty, and position the business as the go-to dining pub in the area.
With its strong trading spaces, generous garden, flexible outbuildings, and prominent village location, the William Boosey offers all the ingredients for the right operator to create a thriving food-led pub with real destination appeal. The site is available immediately on either a traditional tenancy, a partnership agreement, or a Tenancy at Will, offering flexibility around terms and ingoing costs for the right operator.
