Pubs Available On The Isle Of Wight – Run The Sun Inn
The Sun Inn recently refurbished is situated between the villages of Brook and Brighstone, in Hulverstone. The location
is elevated from the sea level and benefits stunning views of the surrounding countryside reaching
out to the English Channel. The property is the closest pub to the very popular South-West Compton
Bay beach, and is near the famous Military Road, being the main road connecting the West of the
Island to the South.
This is an excellent opportunity for a family looking to relocate to one of the most sort after locations in the country to start a new journey running a wonderful pub business
The original thatched building is thought to date back some 600 years and it is known that an Ale
House was on this site in 1816. The bar area is highly characterful with features including a mixture of
raised flagstone and stripped wood flooring, exposed stone and brick walls, window seats and an
Inglenook fireplace with log burning stove inset. There is seating for around 35 diners and drinkers. The
connected restaurant area to the rear was completed in 2005, and is laid to cater for circa 80 covers,
but could accommodate more if required. The premises is supported by Ladies and Gents WC facilities
plus a disabled WC and baby-changing facility. The commercial kitchen is extensively equipped,
comprising kitchen/preparation/wash-up area, utility/store-room and an integrated walk-in chiller, plus
staff WC facility. Please see floor plan for further details. There are plenty of tables in the pub gardens,
which are predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by hedgerow, with some flower and shrub beds,
and a children’s play area.
THE BUSINESS
Operated successfull since 2015, The Sun Inn is undoubtedly a food-led concern. There
is, however, a significant and enthusiastic local following including groups meeting regularly. There is
regular live music and other entertainment, particularly during the summer months. Detailed
accounting information available for inspection to bona fide applicants following viewing of the
premises.
