PUB, RESTAURANT AND SEVEN MODERN GUEST ROOMS in Doncaster for Sale.

Under the same family ownership for the last 24 years and constantly improved and regularly refurbished. A pleasant village pub with connecting restaurant, games and party room, plus a purpose-built extension offering seven high quality bedrooms, all en-suite. A lift offers access for all, especially disabled guests who can enjoy a fully disabled persons compliant twin room and bathroom.

A real favourite for locals and visiting guests, with a friendly welcoming atmosphere, good service and very reasonable pricing. Free of tie pub with a late licence on Friday and Saturday, plus a food offering from the attached 36 cover restaurant and exceptionally well-equipped catering kitchen. Currently let to Indian cuisine chefs on a short-term rolling lease, new owners can keep the informal lease arrangement and enjoy a rental income of £2,000 per calendar month or choose to add their own food service offering to the pub operation. This is a great arrangement as a great deal of drink sales are generated from the restaurants customers and served from the pub’s bar.

THE BUSINESS - Run at a leisurely pace by its two owners who now wish to retire, plus three part-time staff and a self-employed cleaner, the business generates a net turnover of almost £185,000 per annum excluding VAT and shows a healthy adjusted net profit of circa £50,000. Energetic and ambitious new owners could most certainly take advantage of a raised profile on social media, as most of the hotel business comes via word of mouth only, and promoting events and regular entertainment would undoubtedly generate a lot more income. The pub currently only opens from 4pm.

Behind the bar is the restaurant kitchen, extremely well fitted and equipped including a walk-in chiller. 36 cover restaurant. Customer toilets.

Seven guest rooms of varying and flexible bed arrangements accommodating up to 14 guests, all with en-suite bathrooms. Free WiFi, tea and coffee making facilities and flat screen TV’s. One bedroom en-suite flat for managers / owners. The premises benefit from an air-conditioning system which blows hot and cold air.
