TRADING STYLE
Currently, the Old Sun Dunstable is the busier of the two pubs in the village. Its attraction is based on a premium service, a premium drinks offering and a hub for the village life. As it stands, food is served only at the weekends, which is something that the next operator can build on. The village is very quiet during the day and becomes busier in the late afternoons and evenings. Good weather attracts local families and residents to its good-sized garden and terrace.
Private Accommodation at The Old Sun Dunstable benefits from three good sized bedrooms, a family bathroom and lounge area. The private accommodation is located on the first floor of the pub and is accessed through the bar area.

BDM VISION For The Old Sun Dunstable
I am looking for an experienced licensee who is used to championing cask ale along with really getting involved within the community and embracing village life. The ability to run a commercial kitchen would be an advantage, with a small food operation being offered. With our Business Support Agreement and training in place, this could also be an ideal opportunity for a first-time owner/operator of a community led village pub.
