Currently a wet only pub, and frequented by many locals in the area, the Inn has a loyal and longstanding customer base.

Local teams based as the pub include: Ladies and Mens Darts, as well as a number of Pool Teams.

Well renowned for it's customer service, organised events and as a popular function venue location, the current owners have managed the pub for over 17 years and are now looking to retire.

The Fountain Inn presents a great opportunity for an owner operator to purchase this large well positioned and well performing business, and to operate along the same lines as the current owner. Ideally located in the town centre, with a good passing trade, The Fountain has been frequented by many locals for many years.

Alternatively, an experienced operator, perhaps with multiple sites, could expand the current offer and look to run as a managed house or an investor may look to purchase the premises and let it to an operator.

The business is run by the owner operator with the help of part time staff.

The 2024 turnover figure is £227,386. The pub only trades during an evening Monday - Friday with full trading hours on a Saturday and Sunday.
