Business Description
We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire a thriving income producing home of exceptional quality and uncommon further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.
This old established and “TripAdvisor” highly rated, family-run hostelry has become an important focal point of the local, close-knit community in the course of many years’ successful trading by providing all the charming, welcoming and superbly fitted traditional licensed bar facilities associated with an establishment of this kind.
“The Travellers Rest” is also widely renowned both for its fine, cask conditioned real ales and for its full and varied menu of classic, home-cooked pub meals, snacks, regularly changing “blackboard specials”, indulgent desserts and traditional hearty roast Sunday lunches.
All food is prepared freshly to order in its extensively equipped commercial catering kitchen employing the finest and freshest, locally-sourced produce and served in the very pleasant surroundings of a tastefully furnished and appointed dedicated restaurant which may accommodate up to fifty covers in style and comfort, with additional general bar covers also available if required.
The Inn currently operates just six days per week on relatively restricted hours and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to further development of its web sales, which currently stand at approximately 30% of its gross turnover, the possible introduction of live music entertainment evenings and to operating hugely extended hours in order to fully exploit year-round local and passing trade demand.
The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing facilities and services, both through its own information dedicated website and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of some sixteen highly successful years’ trading in the hands of the current husband and wife proprietors, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of full and part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.
