The business also hosts a variety of events and functions such as quizzes, bingo nights, raffles, OAP get-togethers and a Christmas Day gala, as well as wakes and christenings. The kitchen provides a ‘British Classics’ food menu and is well known for its Sunday carveries.

During our clients’ ownership, they have made over £70,000 worth of improvements which will enable a purchaser to take over a 'turnkey' business.
