Description

Description

A Grade II listed building dating back to the 1830s, the Plough and Harrow is an end of terrace, two storey corner building with storage barn and parking.

Location

The Plough and Harrow is a highly rated Turkish dining venue which occupies a historic pub building that has been fully renovated, now offering an authentic Turkish grill. Bridge village is in a rural setting on the old Roman road, Watling Street, formerly the main road between London and Dover. The village itself is centred 2.5 miles south-east of the Cathedral City of Canterbury, a popular tourist destination, consistently one of the most visited cities in the United Kingdom.

Internal Details

Ground floor corner entrance into the main bar restaurant area. There is a range of seating for around 35 covers over two defined areas with wooden floors and mix of beamed ceilings, exposed brickwork, an additional 35 cover function room and well-appointed ladies and gent’s toilets.

Ancillary areas:
Open plan well equipped commercial kitchen with charcoal BBQ and full extraction, prep kitchen and pot washroom, storage room with walk in fridges.

Large ground floor cellar and beer storeroom.

Fixtures & Fittings

Trade fixtures and fittings are included in the purchase price.

External Details

Storage barn with potential for alternative use, subject to planning.

Enclosed area to the side with additional access to owners’ accommodation. Bin store area and parking.

Owner's Accommodation

First-floor owners’ accommodation with a lounge, two bedrooms, domestic kitchen and bathroom.

The Opportunity

The pub is owned by the family brewer Shepherd Neame and was run with a tenant in-situ. They now feel that the pub would be best run by an independent operator to take full advantage of its location and make use of the accommodation above.

Staff

The business is predominantly owner operated with a small team of full and part time staff.
