THE BUSINESS
The Thatched Tavern is one of the best-known pubs in the South Devon area and occupies a truly enviable location adjacent to the South Devon Coastal Path. The Inn has a great reputation for food and a wide selection of beers and ales. The Thatched Tavern draws strong custom from locals and regulars as well as holiday makers visiting the area.
Previously operated by a Brewery, the pub has undergone a complete transformation both physically and operationally in recent years and has traded very successfully under private ownership.
The operation is run by 2 family members with a compliment of full time and part time staff. The pub closes on Mondays and at 8pm on Sunday, otherwise is open 12-10pm every day. Whilst the Thatched Tavern has been rejuvenated, there is still huge untapped potential for new owners.
Further trading information will be provided to bone fide interested parties following a formal viewing.
