Description
The Honeybee is a truly exceptional offering. The pub is set on a large 4.5-acre plot with fishing lakes, set in the beautiful rural countryside of Worcestershire.
The pub is a true family friendly pub with sizeable car park, children’s playground, and open grassed areas with picnic benches, perfect for summer trade.
The pub boasts around 400 covers with 200 internal covers across 5,500 sqft
Doverdale is a small village, west of Droitwich (4.6 miles) and just off the A449 that links Worcester (9.4 miles) and Kidderminster (8.6 miles). The pub is also located a short drive off the M5.
This is a destination venue, with significant covers internally and externally and a large site.
The pub is situated in an historically affluent area, influenced by the Ombersley Estate. The pub itself is set
in a peaceful rural setting, benefitting from a wide catchment of small towns and villages nearby.
The pub boasts a generally open layout, with multiple entrances points. The central bar servery has dual servery points covering the main bar area as well as the restaurant. There is an additional coffee servery too.
In total, there are 7 zones suitable for trading, with 5 core dining areas, a casual bar area and a smaller dining area suitable for private dining and small functions.
Several of the dining areas can easily be partitioned for larger functions and events.
Internal covers total nearly 200
Ancillary spaces include a large commercial kitchen, customer WCs, storage, office and staff amenities
Fixtures and Fittings are included
External DetailsThe total plot is around 4.5 acres with vast potential for further usage
There is a large car park that accommodates 60/70 cars and significant outdoor seating via picnic benches near to the children's playground and a specific beer garden in the immediate grounds of the pub.
Given the size of the plot, the potential for external covers is significant, but current operations have around 130 external covers.
There are two fishing lakes within the plot, which is certainly under-utilised.
There is a 3 bedroom owners flat on the first floor consisting of 3 double bedrooms, a reception room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
The OpportunityThis family friendly pub is set on a large plot with significant potential. The fishing lakes are a popular attraction, providing an extra income stream to the pub.
With nearly two hundred internal covers, the pub is well suited to large functions, events as well as walk ins, with a very flexible internal configuration.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large plot of land with a well trading business attached to it, with
potential scope for further development STP.
