Profitable and growing pub in coastal Kent for sale

Leisure and hospitality specialist Sidney Phillips has brought to market the Butt of Sherry in Hythe, available off a freehold asking price of £695,000.

The town is rife with medieval and Georgian buildings and is bisected by the Royal Military Canal, a Napoleonic war defence which draws in sightseers throughout the year. Hythe is also the northern terminus of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch steam railway which draws in families to the area. A short drive from Hythe is Port Lympne Wild Animal Park and Gardens.

The Butt of Sherry occupies a central position along the bustling high street which houses a number of boutique independent retailers and restaurants. The Butt of Sherry is a well known Grade II listed property with eye catching appearance and front trade patio, understood to date back to the 18th Century. The property has been well-maintained and as a result is presented to a high standard throughout whilst retaining much of its original charm.

The premises benefits from four trading areas providing seating for 66, a four bedroom accommodation and an attractive front trade patio which is particularly popular during the summer months being the only external trade patio visible from the High Street.

The Butt of Sherry has been under the same ownership for the past 25 years and the business operates as a popular public house enjoying a strong following from the local residents which also has the capability of drawing in custom from visitors to the town. The Butt of Sherry would suit hands on owner operators, one of whom could take the helm of the kitchen and implement their own stamp on the food offering. With the expected increase in staycations, the Butt of Sherry offers a great opportunity for a new owner to focus on trade from day trippers and those staying in the numerous surrounding holiday parks.
