The Bowd Inn presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-established, profitable food-led business in a prime Devon location. With over a decade of consistent success under the same ownership, this venue is a turnkey operation ready for an experienced operator to step in and continue its legacy. The Bowd Inn has built an enviable reputation for its popular carvery service, strong year-round local trade, and substantial seasonal tourist influx. It enjoys a diverse customer base, including high-income professionals, retirees, and families, making it a cornerstone of the local community.
The business demonstrates a robust trading model, with consistent local trade throughout the year and notable seasonal uplifts during tourist periods. Its well-established Sunday carvery service remains a major draw, ensuring steady revenue, while private functions provide additional income streams. The venue is equipped with a commercial kitchen designed to handle high-volume service while maintaining top-quality standards. This setup is ideal for an operator looking to maintain and build on the existing food operation while preserving the venue’s reputation for exceptional dining.
This represents a rare chance to acquire a successful, well-maintained business with significant untapped potential. With the current service hours reduced, there is an immediate opportunity for revenue growth by extending trading hours, especially during peak tourist seasons. The Bowd Inn’s strong local reputation, loyal customer base, and established trading history ensure immediate revenue from day one. Additionally, the inclusion of a studio apartment offers extra income potential. This is the perfect acquisition for experienced food operators looking to take a premium business to the next level, with clear pathways for expansion and growth.
