The Abbots Mitre is a detached, two storey village pub dating back to the 19th Century, with modern additions, occupying a prominent position towards the front of a substantial site extending to approximately 0.65 acres in the heart of Chilbolton within the Test Valley. The business is well regarded as a traditional English pub offering freshly prepared food using locally sourced ingredients, together with a strong drinks offer including local ales and a comprehensive wine list, all served in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

The site slopes downwards, with the rear gardens set above the level of the property. To the front there is a patio seating area, to the side covered seating, together with a grassed section with timber picnic benches, while to the southern side is a large, surfaced car park providing space for around 38 vehicles. To the rear is a generous garden area, recently divided into two distinct sections, comprising a customer lawned garden with picnic tables and a separate storage area used by the business.

Further external facilities include a detached cold store and storage shed to the rear of the preparation kitchen. Given the scale of the overall site in relation to the existing building, the property may also offer scope for extension, enlargement or residential development subject to planning (STPP).

The Opportunity

The Abbots Mitre is a well established, traditional English pub with a strong reputation for quality food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The business centres around freshly prepared dishes using locally sourced ingredients, complemented by a fully stocked bar offering a wide selection of wines, local ales and premium beverages.

Open daily from 11am with food service from midday, the pub attracts consistent custom throughout the day. Since opening in November 2014, it has built a loyal and repeat customer base, supported by an experienced and capable team.

The business has a proven track record of performance and profitability, having operated successfully under a leasehold model before the freehold was acquired in August 2024. This transition provides long term security and enhances the overall asset strength of the operation.

The Abbots Mitre offers clear and attractive opportunities to further develop both the trading business and the underlying asset. The existing food led offer and strong customer base provide a solid foundation for growth.

There is potential, subject to the necessary planning consents, to extend the current building and increase cover space. In addition, the rear of the site presents an opportunity for residential development.

Further scope exists to convert the current staff accommodation into either owner’s accommodation or a self-contained letting rooms adding a further income stream.

Staff
