Business description

THE BUSINESS
Advent Business Sales are delighted to offer
to the open market this superb busy public
house, which is extremely popular and has
been trading successfully as a community
pub for over 80 years.
In the hands of the current owners since
2005, it is now reluctantly offered for sale
due to the vendor’s personal and family
commitments.
The business prides itself as being part of the
local community as it hosts 2 pool teams,
mens and womens darts teams, a football
team and is a regular meeting point each
week for a divers club. The pub is also the
designated headquarters for the St. George
Society, to which many people travel from
afar to view this spectacular event.
The business is themed as a traditional pub
with a good 80% wet to 20% dry sales split
and is tied to keg and cask beer and real ale
only.
The pub is open 7 days a week, enjoying a
healthy trade both at lunchtime and evening.
There are several offices and financial
institutes nearby who frequent regularly for
afternoon bonding with colleagues.
The main bar capacity is 120 seating with a
further snug area.
Our client has successfully introduced a new
fully equipped commercial kitchen within the
past few months which is now starting to
reap benefits.
A good quality Sunday lunch is offered
which has proved to be very popular.
To further complement the business, the pub
also has a private function room with a pool
table and a separate bar, which can be
accessed independently, this is located on the
first floor but the real focal point to the pub
is the vast area to the rear which boasts a
fantastic children’s play area with a bouncy
castle, with seating for over 100 people.
There is a popular barbeque area. In
addition, a skittle alley room is also situated
to the rear of the pub, as well as a
gymnasium which can be accessed from the
rear beer garden.
The pub attracts regular media and
television coverage through its growing
reputation and its association with St.
George’s Society. In addition, the pub has
been awarded by being recognised as a
