The Cherry Tree operates successfully as an established food pub, popular with tourists and holidaymakers visiting the various holiday parks in the surrounding area. The large volume of passing trade during peak season provides a fantastic opportunity for an experienced operator to provide a strong, value for money food offer alongside a regular weekly events programme. Quiz nights, bingo evenings and cask ales have proved popular in the past, and there is a great opportunity to tap into the local residential market as many of the holiday parks are occupied by year-round residents. The ample car park space could also lend itself to running outdoor events (car boot sale, family fun day etc.).
The private accommodation is in good order, having been refurbished at the same time as the pub, and consists of three bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and bathroom.

We are looking for an experienced licensee (s) who is familiar and comfortable with high-volume food operations to take this pub to the next level. The opening hours should be maximised by a breakfast offer and regular carvery, alongside value for money offers targeting mid-market patrons. Off-season residents of the local holiday parks provide an excellent opportunity for year-round trade to compliment the busy peak season, and potential operators should have a strong marketing plan in place to maximise both the busier and quieter trading periods. Experience with running a seasonal pub would be advantageous.
