Description

The nautical themed pub is large, well equipped and attractive, which reflects its Managed House background. It is set in a mainly residential area with a large car park with two recently installed EV points.

On access to the pub the bar is sited to the right which has a mix of seating/table styles, a combination of slate/stone floors/rugs and a gas fire. Access to the toilets are through this section of the pub.

To the left of the entrance is primarily dining in a number of light and airy sections with a section that can be used for private dining as required. Again this area is a mix of styles with a nautical theme.

The garden areas are easily access through and has a terrific decked section with planting and then a more open section with an attactive sandstone base which is ideal for volume trade and events. The kitchen and cellar are both easily accessible and provide large and well equipped facilities to support the large level of current and potential trade.

The Yachtsman is situated in Hamworthy, a busy and popular suburb of Poole. The immediate area has a population of some 7,000 attracted to its open feel and proximity to several marinas, which is boosted by Hamworthy Barracks, an established Naval and Marine Base. The area is popular for tourism around the beach and park and is home to Rockley Holiday Park a huge holiday destination from March through November. In addition to Military links the area is home to Poole cross channel ferries and has a vibrant yachting scene. The area is connected br rail with direct links to London and easily accessible by car.

This is a great opportunity. Could this be the pub for you?

Trade

The Yachtsman attracts custom all year round from its immediate vicinity, which is primarily food driven with mature couples/groups and families.

During the spring and summer months the area attracts a wider demographic of day tourists/residents of Rockley Park and the sailing fraternity and this is when the business needs to be prepared to maximise income.

"The Yachtsman needs an operator who must have experience of operating large scale quality hospitaility business's which combine a strong food trade with a vibrant bar.

The ability to maintain existing loyal trade is key, with a view to building on this through flexing the offer through both the week and year is essential so that turnover can be maximised through all 12 months. The pub is well equipped so strong funding is a key."
