The Fox, a destination food led public house located in the village of Kirton near Newark, Nottinghamshire has been let through specialist pub agents Sidney Phillips.
The business is renowned for its pub classics menu alongside Sunday lunches and a variety of functions, such as live music, open mic nights, birthdays, christenings, baby showers and wakes. Our clients and outgoing operators have owned The Fox since January 2017 and during this time have completely renovated an almost derelict building into the pristine country public house and restaurant we see today.
The Fox occupies a two-storey detached brick building under slate tile roof and is situated in a prominent position on Main Street where it is the unrivalled amenity within the village, the property briefly comprises 4 first floor bedrooms, basement cellar, commercial kitchen, 3 internal trade areas, sizeable car park and ½ acre beer garden.
Sidney Phillips let The Fox, Kirton off a Leasehold Premium Asking Price of £25,000 to Dewick Day Hospitality limited who hail from the Lancashire seaside resort town of Blackpool. Paul & Robert of Dewick Day Hospitality Ltd comment:
“From the moment we walked into The Fox we fell in love. The work that the owners, David and James have put into it is nothing short of phenomenal, were thrilled to now be taking the reins and expanding the business to another level. Our intention is to continue serving exceptional food and drinks, with many events for all to enjoy. This will include quiz nights every Thursday, where we’ll be serving woodfired pizzas. Our thanks to David and James for such a smooth handover, and we cannot wait to welcome you all to the Fox at Kirton.”
Zaine Lamont, Regional Valuations Manager for the Eastern Counties handled the leasehold sale and comments, “I want to echo Paul & Robert’s thoughts in regard to our clients work in transforming The Fox into the property it is today. Back in October 2021 I had the pleasure of meeting our outgoing clients David & James where they informed me of their intended works for the property, and eventual want to find a tenant. After revisiting the premises in September 2023 I was extremely impressed at the quality of the restoration and this was no doubt a major factor behind us concluding the whole process, from initial marketing, negotiation, creation of the lease and then to handing over the keys, all within 11 weeks. Finally, I want to wish the new operators Paul & Robert all the best of luck with the business going forward, I am sure they will continue, and expand upon the successes of our outgoing clients.”
