Business description

LOCATION
Our client’s public house is conveniently located in a town in the Stoke on Trent. It is situated on the main town high street, which is the main shopping area.

It has its own small car park at the rear of the building, although there is adequate car parking close by, the area is a good mix of commercial and domestic buildings.

The M6 motorway and the A50 trunk road provide access to other areas.

THE BUSINESS:
Advent Business Sales are pleased to offer to the market this extremely well established local town centre community pub, which has been trading successfully since the mid 1800’s.

The pub’s history extends back to the days when it was a coaching house.

The current vendor has been happily in ownership for the last 23 years and is reluctantly selling due to a desire to retire.

The pub is 100% wet sales with public and lounge bars and also a covered smoking area at the rear. It is supported by 2 darts teams and a football team. It was noted on both our visits to be well attended by local customers and it also allows supervised children with adults to be allowed in the lounge area up to 7pm.

The pub is warm and inviting with good décor and fixtures and fittings. The outside smoking area is quite spectacular with aluminium seats and tables and remote controlled awning, heaters and lights, the awning can be rolled back during warm and dry weather, giving an added dimension to the pub.

There are door ways from both the front and rear of the building. Off the bar area is a small commercial kitchen area, which might give an excellent opportunity to provide hot/cold bar snacks.

Sales are increasing year on year at a healthy GP, producing healthy net profits in excess of £53,000 per annum.

We are advised that stock at cost is approximately £2,000 - £2,500.

This is an ideal family pub with excellent accommodation and fantastic potential.
