The pub is situated in the village of Aspenden, just outside Buntingford. Nearby towns of Royston, Ware and Hertford all sitting on the North/South A10 arterial route between London and Cambridge. Just off the beaten track, the pub sits just back from the road through Aspenden between Buntingford and Westmill. The local demographics really over-index on affluent achievers, with predominantly detached housing stock, the local population who support the pub and community The building has been extended over time, but is packed full of character, with stunning central fireplace, oak beams and low ceilings.
As you approach the pub you first encounter a secluded external drinking and dining area. In through the front door you enter the main bar with the servery directly in front of you. The bar is well presented with cask and draught beer, and then the back bar displays of wines, spirits and minerals. The large central fireplace is just to the left of the main bar – it’s a real feature, and a USP for the building in the cooler months. To the left of the main bar is a separate dining room with access to the ladies and gents toilets. Off to the right from the main bar is a passage leading to the separate dining room, that can also serve as a function/private area. The well equipped trade kitchen is also through here. The tenant accommodation is accessed from behind the bar servery. Externally there is a large well maintained trade garden.
The Private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, lounge bathroom and office all in good condition

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced operator who can build on the great foundations that already exist. A real passion and flare for delivering good food and excellent retail standards is a must. The local market is strong, and modernising the food and pricing is the opportunity. The pub has crafted a niche custom base serving local and national craft and cask beers – we would like to see that be developed. Events (specifically beer festivals) in the rear trade garden is also something that can be expanded.
