The pub currently trades mainly as a drinks orientated operation but there is an opportunity to further develop the current food offer supplied from the fully equipped catering kitchen as the current wet/dry split is 80/20. The majority of current business comes from late afternoon and evening trade with food mainly being served at lunchtimes later in the week but there’s a great opportunity to build on the offer by opening all day every day i.e breakfasts.
There is an excellent range of keg beers, lagers & ciders with an excellent opportunity to develop a cask ale offer along with a fantastic range of wines, spirits and soft drinks. The current food offer comprises of a traditional home cooked pub food menu supplemented with sandwiches and lighter bites.

BDM Vision
Ideally the licensee should have experience in a community focused environment with some experience of producing and delivering a reasonable hot and cold food menu. They should be familiar and skilful with modern marketing techniques as this is a small town but is surrounded by several villages. Engaging marketing is key to attracting from these communities to increase wet footfall and drive the food offer.
