Lease A Pub In Chessington – The Cricketers Is Available
The Cricketers is a traditional style pub located on Clayton Road, Chessington. The pub is very close to the Chessington shopping parade with excellent transport links with the main A3 arterial road within one mile. The local area is densely populated, surrounded by residential housing and amenities including schools, playing fields and supermarkets, with several sporting attractions within walking distance including Hook & Southborough Cricket Club & Kingston Rugby Club. Chessington World of Adventure and several Business Parks are within five minutes drive.
Pub Layout
The pub is a large detached property with a forecourt to the front elevation and beer garden to the side. There is a car park to the rear for approximately ten cars. The building is in good condition having benefited from a full refurbishment in late 2018. The trade area consists of a central bar servery with an open plan drinking area to the front and sides of the bar with a mixture of loose and fixed seating. The pool area and other pub games are located to the left of the bar servery.
Private Accommodation
The private accommodation is in good condition following recent refurbishment works and is situated on the first floor, consisting of three bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, bathroom and a separate reception room (which could be used as a fourth bedroom).

The Cricketers benefited from a transformational investment scheme in late summer 2018, which enhanced the external appearance giving the pub much improved kerb appeal and internally the décor, lighting, flooring and fixture & fittings were improved. Trade areas were zonalised to deliver a high quality drinks focused community pub. In addition the external beer garden and rear of the property were also upgraded. Our licensee has also contributed to the pub by funding some additional works to the site to improve and better the trade areas further and they have been working hard to make the pub an integral part of the community which they have been very successful at until their personal circumstances have changed causing notice to be given.
There is a good core business that can be built on with events and pub teams that appeal to locals and regulars and the surrounding residents. We believe that with an enthusiastic and energetic community focused licensee, the plan could be brought to life and they would be able to grow the business, going from strength to strength.
