Business Description
Veritas Business Sales is delighted to offer for sale this rare opportunity to acquire the leasehold going concern of a characterful village pub and restaurant, occupying a prominent position in the heart of a historic and sought-after village in South Yorkshire.
Dating back more than 300 years, the property was originally a coach house and coaching inn on one of the area's historic coaching routes, and remains one of the village's most recognisable buildings. Today it blends genuine period character, exposed brickwork and open fires with modern trading facilities.
The property has been under the same ownership for over a decade and is presented to a high standard. The owner is only bringing this outstanding opportunity to market due to unexpected and recent health issues, making this a genuinely reluctant sale.
The ground floor comprises a main bar with copper keg fonts and cask ale hand pulls, a separate bar seating area, a snug with its own bar hatch and open fire, and a restaurant with leather banquette seating and a feature cast iron stove. To the first floor is a large function room, an office and two one-bedroom en-suite letting suites. Ladies' and gents' toilets are provided on both floors, plus an accessible toilet on the ground floor.
The business enjoys a well-balanced trade, with sales split evenly between food and drink, and generates an average weekly turnover of £16,000 net of VAT. A freshly cooked menu is complemented by a well-kept range of cask ales.
Trade is derived from a loyal base of local residents together with walkers, families and diners travelling from the surrounding towns and villages. The first floor function room, available for private hire, and the two letting suites, suited to short-term guest lets, holiday letting or staff accommodation, provide valuable additional income streams.
The pub currently trades from 12pm to 11pm Monday to Saturday and from 12pm to 7pm on Sunday, leaving clear scope for an incoming operator to extend Sunday evening trade, develop the function room for events and grow the letting suites as a dedicated accommodation offer.
Opportunities to acquire a historic village inn of this character, with a loyal local following, flexible first floor space and genuine scope for growth, rarely become available. Early viewing is therefore strongly recommended to fully appreciate everything this business has to offer.
