The Business
Prior to closing, the business traded as a public house and restaurant serving the local community. In recent years, our clients have traded as a lifestyle business, only opening five evenings per week, Tuesday to Saturday 18:00 - 23:00. The business stayed open later at the weekend if a function was taking place. The very spacious lounge/restaurant/function facilities, together with the large car park, proved very popular in the locality for private functions and parties. Prior to closing and during their last financial year, accounts are expected to show sales in the region of £60,000 with the trade being split approximately 60% catering/40% wet sales.
Tenure
FREEHOLD £225,000 to include fixtures, fittings and goodwill. Stock at valuation in addition.
