Overview:
A popular and thriving village pub and food destination inn, situated in an attractive village on the edge of Lake District National Park,. The business has been owned and run by the current proprietors since 2009 as a family business with an excellent reputation for traditional fare.
Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 12–3 p.m. and 6–11.30 p.m., and Saturday to Sunday, noon to midnight. Turnover for the 9 months to December 31, 2023, was £347,000 net of VAT, with a split of about 55% food and 45% wet.
The pub also has an adjoining shop and post office, producing additional income of about £15,000 a year, which is included in a freehold sale and could be available separately to an incoming tenant.
Anyone operating the post office counter would need to apply to the post office for the subpostmaster position. Our clients are seeking to retire from the business. Full accounts will be made available to bona fide applicants, normally after viewing.
