An opportunity has arisen for an experienced operator to take on a new 20 year, free of tie lease.

The opportunity would ideally suit a community focussed owner-operator with a good understanding of the local area.

There is potential to increase revenue by modernising the interior, establishing weekly events/entertainment, increasing the food offering and advertising the function room.

The landlord has never operated the establishment, therefore no accounting information is available.
