Business Description
Advent Business Sales is pleased to have been instructed to offer to the market this extremely well established public house which dates back over 400 years.

Trade is currently split 60% / 40% between wet and dry. Wet sales are predominantly to customers who are all local to the village, whilst those eating in the restaurant do come from further afield as well as local people.

The pub has an excellent and popular thirty six cover restaurant which also caters for parties, christenings and wakes.

The kitchen is fully equipped for purpose and includes:
• 6 ring gas burner with oven under and extraction over
• Electric fan assisted oven
• Two deep fat fryers
• Electric grill
• Three upright fridges
• Two microwaves
• Four upright freezers
• Commercial dishwasher
• Chest freezer
• Under counter fridge
• Glass washer
• Ice maker
• Coffee machine
• Coffee percolator
• Coffee grinder
• Soup toureen
• Hot cupboard
• Stainless steel carvery
• Display unit
• Small wine chiller

The pub is staffed by a husband and wife team who both work full time with the assistance of one part timer who works approximately seven hours per week and other casual staff who work on an ‘As and

When’ required basis. They currently achieve gross weekly sales of approximately £3,000.

The decoration and fixtures and fittings are all in good order and the pub also has a great ambience.

We are advised that stock at cost is approximately £6,000.
