The Hardwick, an award-winning gastro pub and restaurant is on the market for freehold with Sidney Phillips, licensed property agents.
The Hardwick (formally the Horse & Jockey) was originally a traditional pub acquired by our clients some 15 years ago. Since that time, it has been completely redeveloped, improved and extended, to include the addition of a letting suite. It was brought to life by the highly regarded, former Michelin-star chef, Stephen Terry and his partner, Joanne.
To many, its renowned reputation needs no introduction – it was voted 20th in “Best Gastro Pubs in the UK” and third in the “Best Restaurants in Wales”. The pub is currently closed but remains fully furnished and is ready to reopen at extremely short notice. The success of the Hardwick is known to all. The restaurant offered classic and warming dishes utilising seasonal and local produce sourced within 5 miles of the restaurant. However, the business should not be dismissed purely as a dining venue as it has excellent bar facilities as well as the eight outstanding letting bedrooms. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, annual gross takings were £1,200,000.
The village of Hardwick is located just a mile or so from the edge of the thriving market town of Abergavenny. Abergavenny is known as the gateway to Wales but also to the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Usk Valley. It is one of the most sought-after and popular residential locations in South Wales and this popular, rural part of Monmouthshire. It is notable for being the culinary centre, renowned for its annual food festival.
The Hardwick features four interconnecting bar and restaurant areas, three-bedroom owners accommodation and eight ensuite letting bedrooms. The letting accommodation lies in a separate, purpose-built hotel block. The bedrooms are arranged as twins and doubles across two floors and are fully furnished to a high standard. The property stands on a large plot hosting a courtyard trade garden to the rear and adjacent to the letting accommodation, lawned garden, car park for 32 vehicles and further parking to the front of the property.
The property is for sale at a freehold asking price of £825,000. To see the property on our website click here. For more information and to enquire, please call 01981 250333 or email wales@sidneyphillips.co.uk .
