Description
A prominent detached property offering good food as well as bed & breakfast accommodation.
The pub offers a warm atmosphere with a huge range of wholesome foods including a carvery. There is also a function room able to cater for large
parties.
The Kings Head is located in Lower Horsebridge, East Sussex.
Horsebridge is a village a mile north of Hailsham, the largest of the five towns in the Wealden district of East Sussex. The town is near the junction of two major roads - the A22 to Eastbourne and the A27 South Coast Trunk Road.
The town has good public transport links, with bus services to Eastbourne, Bexhill and Uckfield.
The ground floor is set out over three separate areas with two open fire places. To the left of the property is the main restaurant area with its own bar counter (c.90 covers), to the centre is the bar area (c.50 covers) and to the right is a large function room (c.200 covers).
There is also a large commercial kitchen with three-phase electric power, a separate prep room, wash-up room, walk-in chiller, small ground floor cellar and two office spaces, one off the kitchen and the other to the rear in the reception area.
All trade fixtures and fittings will be included in the sale and our clients will provide a trade inventory.

Car park for 42 vehicles.
Owner's AccommodationThere is an owners' flat above the pub with two double bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a large lounge/diner.
The OpportunityThe business has been under the current ownership for the last 15 years and has built up a good reputation over that time, both amongst the local and wider community.
There is scope to increase trade further with the introduction of the additional letting room, as well as looking at reinstating planning for the further seven letting rooms.
The business is currently owner operated, with a mixture of full time and part time staff.
