THE BUSINESS
Is owned and operated by our clients who have a large number of business interests.
As a consequence they are only able to open the main pub business from Thursday until Saturday which ensures a great level of potential for new owners.
The letting lodges are open seven days a week and managed with a key box system.
Trading figures show that the business enjoys a substantial turnover with £200,000 annual net profit level which would certainly be increased if the pub opening times were extended. Further details can be disclosed upon signing a non-disclosure agreement.
