Pub Layout
The Black and Grey is a beautifully presented pub with a unique, aesthetically pleasing decor that enhances its appeal as an independent venue. The pub's design, based on an L-shaped layout, centre around the main bar which serves as the focal point of the space. The interior features a mix of mismatched furniture, accommodating around 40-50 covers, adding to the eclectic charm of the pub. The decor is further enriched with an array of interesting bric-a-brac and well-designed chalkboards, contributing to the boutique pub-restaurant vibe. The main trading area is arranged in a traditional, one-room format, creating a cosy and intimate atmosphere. Towards the rear, there is a quaint function space, ideal for hosting smaller events and parties. The commercial kitchen, located on the first floor, also serves as the domestic facility, offering convenience and functionality. Outside, the pub boasts a distinctive beer garden known as "The Yard," a hard-landscaped courtyard featuring picnic benches and adorned with fairy lights. This space is particularly popular during warmer weather, providing a charming outdoor setting for locals to enjoy.
The private flat consists of two bedrooms, bathroom, office and living room and is all in very good condition.
