The property also has four letting bedrooms, outside seating area (100+), children's play area, it's own field utilised for outdoor functions and parking for 38 vehicles, including two disabled persons spaces.

Location

Pollards Inn is a pub and restaurant with rooms, set in the picturesque village of Willaston, Wirral, being well located just off the main high street with good signage and set within it's own grounds benefitting from a large car park. Overall site area circa 1.5 acres.

The Opportunity

The business has built itself an enviable reputation in an ideal location and as such has a very strong food element with a 50/46 food/wet split. We feel there is an opportunity for growth by 'pushing' the function side of the business by either expanding "The Room at the Inn" or utilising the field further for marquee style events. There is also room for growth by increasing the size of the conservatory for up to a further 40 covers to the main bar.
