The Orchard is located in the affluent Askew Village area of Chiswick, with attractive period residential properties and open green spaces, alongside a mix of shops, restaurants, pubs and bars.

There are good road connections, links to Heathrow and only a half hour’s journey to central London making this an area popular for commuters.

The Orchard Tavern currently operates as a local’s pub under management and is entirely 100% wet sales and showing live TV sporting events.

The pub is located in Chiswick, considered one of London’s most affluent districts, therefore there is an ample opportunity for a more ”hands-on” owner/operator to develop a good quality varied food menu to significantly increase revenue.

The business will be sold with the benefit of vacant possession on completion. Management have previously mentioned that there is an equipped catering kitchen on the first floor with a food service lift, which offers the facilities and scope to introduce a food menu.

Trading accounts will be provided to interested parties following a formal inspection of the business.

The business currently operates 12 noon to 11pm Monday to Saturday and 12 noon to 10.30pm Sunday. The Premises Licence does permit trading to 2am Friday & Saturday and 12pm Sunday.

The property is held on lease for a term of 25 years from 1st October 2013 from Star Pubs & Bars and is on a "free of tie" basis. The current rent is £69,000 per annum which is due for review in October 2028 and 5 yearly thereafter.

The rateable value is £8,250 with effect from 1st April 2023.
