THE BUSINESS

The Royal Standard is an established community pub, currently wet-led, offering the chance to take on the business and shape its next chapter. St Austell Brewery is planning an investment in the pub in 2027, with full details to be confirmed.
Introducing a well-considered traditional bar meal offer could create a valuable new revenue stream and make greater use of the pub’s 90-cover capacity. There is also scope to build a stronger weekly rhythm around events, the skittle alley, pool and seasonal activity. Hospitality experience is preferred but not essential for the right hands-on operator.
Further detailed trading information can be provided to interested parties on request to the agent.

The property is available on the basis of a 5 year fully tied agreement with St Austell Brewery. Tenancy/lease length terms to be decided or negotiated.
Starting rent: £13,000 per annum, which will be amended following the planned investment.
Rent deposit: £7,500.
