The OpportunityOur clients have owned and operated the pub for 40 years and are now selling due to retirement. The business has always and continues to trade well boasting high profits and turnover. Although it is very popular with locals throughout the year, it is also extremely busy with tourists throughout the summer months.
Recent quiz nights and live music events have proven popular with locals, providing a strong platform from which a new owner can further develop the entertainment offering and increase footfall.
Our client has chosen to operate the business under management; however, an incoming purchaser may see an opportunity to take a more hands-on role in the day-to-day running of the business. The Feathers Inn is a free house, with trade generated entirely from wet sales.
