Lease A Pub In Newburgh – The Abbey Inn Is Now Available
The Abbey Inn is set on the main road in Newburgh, a parish of Fife at the south shore of the Firth of Tay. With a small population of 2171, this area is quiet but has an abundance of historical attractions, alongside the industrial heritage and a long history of fishing, the area is also well known for its walkers, cyclists and outdoor sports providing the best location for the perfect getaway.
Pub Layout
Upon entrance from the main road, this L shaped, two-room operation provides the main bar experience complete with pool table and the traditional, cosy lounge area for those quieter evenings. The main bar is L-shaped with steps down to the pool table. There is a small kitchen area located at the rear of the pub which could be used for a small back bar food offering alongside breakfasts for the letting rooms. The main bar is complimented by a small lounge area. With a mixture of stone and panelled walls, fixed and loose seating, this area is cosy and snug for those perfect evening drinks. There are three letting rooms, all en-suite consisting of two doubles and one family room located on the first floor with potential to increase income. Outside to the rear of the pub are stables, which if converted, could add additional seating areas or an area for private functions alongside the beautiful beer garden area overlooking the orchard and beautiful views of the river.

Currently the pub is operated mainly as a wet led traditional local with pub sports such as pool and darts, this can provide an opportunity for local teams to join, enhance a premium drinks offer and introduce cask ales. A small commercial kitchen can be used to offer a small food menu daily and increase sales for the three letting rooms with a bed and breakfast offering. Outside there are stables which could be converted to an outside seating area expanding the beer garden area.
