THE BUSINESS:
This is an old established hostelry which enjoys all the significant commercial and private advantages of an incredible trading position in the charming village of Wanstrow which lies on the busy main A359 visitor route to Bruton and Frome in a pleasant rural area of Somerset.
Operating from extensive large detached premises, this beautiful building has all the charm and character of a community public house. Due to many years of successful trading, in the hands of the current proprietors since 1999 it has become somewhat of a crucial point of the community. It has gained this much sought after reputation due to the range of fine cask conditioned CAMRA and Cask Marque approved real ales, as well as the extremely well fitted traditional free house licensed bar an games room associated with an establishment of this kind.
The Pub at Wanstrow also offers a wide range selection of foods through their full range of classic home cooked pub meals, snacks and Sunday lunches. All meals are prepared freshly to order in its well equipped catering kitchen, using the finest locally sourced produce wherever obtainable. Meals are served in the pleasant surroundings of the intimate lounge bar and dining area, which currently comfortable houses twenty covers with additional bar covers also available if requested.
The business is additionally home to no less than sixteen local skittle teams and would naturally furnish any eager purchaser with vast scope for continued growth, not least with regard to substantial further development of its food trade, the possible introduction of entertainment trade and to operating vastly extended hours in order to completely exploit year round local demand. In regards to opening hours there is the option to open 11am until 12am daily, however these hours are far from being met so there is a huge scope for increase in regards to turnover.
This concern would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more dynamic marketing policy of its brilliant existing facilities and services predominantly with reference to the introduction of online advertising in order to improve upon the already very respectable levels of turnover and profitability it has achieved in the course of eleven successful years trading in the hands of a husband and wife partnership with the aid of just one part time assistant.
Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to some major local, regional or indeed national operator in the licensed industry looking to radically increase its existing share of the market by the attainment of an extremely well located free of tie establishment with a valuable local name and an established customer base. We would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
