Description

Description

The Tankard is a lively and well‑supported public house, known for offering good quality food and drink alongside a vibrant atmosphere. The business successfully combines consistent local trade with strong visitor numbers, creating a balanced operation that performs well across weekdays and weekends alike.

Location

The Tankard occupies a prominent position in the heart of Oswestry, benefitting from high footfall generated by the town’s strong local population and well‑established tourism trade. Oswestry’s popularity as a market town and gateway to the Welsh borders ensures sustained demand for quality food, drink and entertainment throughout the year.

Internal Details

Internally, the pub offers a large open‑plan trading area centred around a main bar, providing excellent visibility and flow. The venue is well‑equipped for entertainment, hosting live music most weekends and featuring a dedicated stage and dancefloor. A built‑in projector further enhances the offer, making the space ideal for live sport, events, and themed entertainment nights.

Fixtures & Fittings

We have been advised that the majority of the fixtures and fittings are owned outright and will be included in the sale, subject to an inventory.

Owner's Accommodation

The upper floors provide spacious owner’s accommodation, offering flexibility and future potential. Subject to the necessary consents, this space could be reconfigured into letting bedrooms, presenting an opportunity to introduce an additional income stream and further maximise the property’s earning potential.

The Opportunity

The Tankard presents a compelling opportunity to operate a well‑known, high‑capacity business with a strong entertainment and food‑led offer. With its established trading style, adaptable internal layout, and potential for accommodation development, the pub is well suited to experienced operators seeking a dynamic business with multiple revenue streams.
