Description
LOCATION
An exceptional opportunity has arisen to take on the Ship Inn, a thriving pub with letting rooms, set in the heart of the historic fishing village of Mevagissey, on Cornwall's scenic south coast. With strong year-round trade that swells in peak tourist season, this high-turnover site offers a great platform for an experienced operator to lead a successful, balanced business in one of the county's most picturesque harbours.
Located at PL26 6UQ, the Ship Inn is at the centre of Mevagissey, a vibrant village with a resident population of around 2,100. Visitor numbers rise significantly through the summer, thanks to its charming harbour, coastal walks and close proximity to attractions like the Lost Gardens of Heligan. The pub sits just 6 miles from St Austell, 15 miles from Truro and 10 miles from the A30, Cornwall's main arterial route.
THE BUSINESS PREMISES
The Ship Inn maintains its classic Cornish charm from the outside, with a traditional appearance that blends beautifully with its surroundings. While there is no beer garden or external seating, the location in the heart of the village provides strong footfall and excellent visibility.
The pub features a warm and traditional interior with 68 dining covers, spread across two dining rooms, a snug, and the main bar area, complete with an open fire. The character and layout create an inviting space for both casual drinkers and diners.
The fully equipped commercial kitchen supports a bar food offer and is appropriately sized for the pub's high turnover and volume.
LETTING ROOMS
In addition to the bar and dining areas, the pub offers five tastefully decorated letting rooms all with en-suite bathrooms, providing an added income stream and year-round appeal for tourists seeking overnight stays in the village.
PRIVATE ACCOMMODATION
The on-site accommodation includes two bedrooms, a living room, domestic kitchen and bathroom - ideal for a resident licensee or manager.
THE BUSINESS
Is run by a husband and wife team who are looking forward to a well earned retirement.
The pub has a good local following and offers a range of beers, wines and spirits. The current operators offer a well presented pub food menu alongside breakfasts and snacks for hotel guests.
We will not have accounts for this business however we are advised that annual sales are circa £750,000.
We understand that the trade split is 50% wet sales, 37% food sales and 13% accommodation.
We are of the opinion that this site has potential to achieve an annual turnover over £1,000,0000.
TENURE
The Ship Inn is available on the basis of a brand new agreement with St Austell Brewery.
Please call the agent, Bruce on 07 467 94 72 96 for a rent guide.
Rateable Value
Current rateable value (1 April 2023 to present) £29,500.
This is not what you will pay.
