The business has been under our client’s ownership since 2019, during which time the business has been completely repositioned and energised. Prospective purchasers will find a vibrant public house business geared towards great customer service and offering the best for locals and visitor alike.
The public bar is cosy and welcoming hosting a variety of different events on a regular basis. From quizzes, live music (traditional and contemporary) to Karaoke as well as a tempting lunch and evening menu. Our clients have professionalised the offering to allow new owners to follow a successful template.
The conversion and inception of the Bunker Café has added an extra dimension to the business as well as offering a different service to the locals. The café/coffee shop offering has developed a new line of income and is proving very popular with both sit in and takeaway custom. This is a huge positive for the business going forward. The Bunker café doubles up as a farm shop, coffee shop, takeaway and community meeting place.
Our clients have also worked hard to create an excellent function offering within the business. Our clients have invested in a stage area, lighting and a sound system to offer a flexible and event ready room for weddings, celebrations, music nights, comedy evenings, parties, as well as high teas.
The owner occupies a fantastic fully renovated flat above the business. The owner’s accommodation has been developed to the highest standard offering a spacious and luxurious family home. The accommodation offers two very comfortable double sized bedrooms, office/third small bedroom, fully renovated bathroom as well as an outstanding kitchen dining and living space. Private access to the flat is at the side of the property with a set of stairs leading to the accommodation. It is very rare to find this standard of owner’s accommodation to accompany a business.
