Lease A Pub In Maltby – The Sheppey Is Available
The Sheppey is a popular community pub on the edge of the village of Maltby on the busy Grange Lane, with easy links to Doncaster, Rotherham and Bawtry. The pub is ideally located on the edge of a residential area, with new housing estates being built within a short walk. The population within a 5 mile radius is 116,000 and 14,000 people across all age ranges within one mile of the pub, and local shops and amenities are only a short walk away. Maltby has easy motorway links to M18, M1 and A1 and is a busy village.
Pub Layout
The pub is a traditional two-room layout with a lounge to front of building and large room to the rear, both accessed through the main front entrance lobby and both with their own well-stocked bar serveries. The lounge is to the right of the pub and features a mix of fixed and loose seating, well decorated to a contemporary spec very welcoming and relaxing to either have food or just meet friends for a drink.
The larger room to the rear of the property has scope for a number of uses, from showing live sport, holding live entertainment, private function room etc… and features pool table and darts, along with a mix of fixed and loose seating. The commercial kitchen is small and located back of house behind both bars alongside the cellar and currently produces a quality handheld food menu, but has potential to offer a Sunday carvery. Internally there are approx. 100+ covers between both rooms, along with an additional 50+ covers outside.
Externally to the front and one side of the pub is a grassed and decked drinking area, a great large space that could hold events throughout the year. To the rear and one side of building is a large carpark for approx. 24+ cars, again resulting in flexible space that can be used for events such as car boot sales.
The standards in all areas have been kept very high by the current Tenants.
The stated ingoing figures are correct at point of advertising. Please be aware there may be additional costs.
The pub currently operates on an approximate 70:30 wet/dry trading split, with food offered most evenings throughout the week and weekends. The local community provides an established day-to-day trade, with the opportunity to development the large rear room into a more inviting space to show sport and hold events. The layout of the pub would support the introduction of pub sports teams, and either room can be used for functions depending on the size of room required. The garden and decked areas can also provide a boost to income throughout the warmer months

This is a great opportunity for a hands on experienced all-round licensee, to create a real community wet-led offer with a simple food offer to attract local residents and neighbouring village residents to visit. I am looking to work with an individual/couple with local knowledge who are willing to embed themselves into the community and who can put their own ideas into the business to deliver outstanding results. You must be competent and confident in marketing outside the pub, along with utilising the many social media platforms to attract customers from outside the area.
