Business
The Royal Oak is a well known and centrally located public house in the centre of this thriving town. The business has been trading as the Baskervilles under the current lessees although they are likely to take the trading name with them. This will allow the incoming tenant to stamp their name on the business and revert the pub back to the original Royal Oak. Its location and absence of any direct competition allows for a ‘chameleon’ style of operation offering coffees/teas and breakfasts in the morning, through to lunches, afternoon teas and evening meals; all complemented by a wide ranging choice of beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks.
The business would suit anyone looking for a prime trading pitch in the town, looking to capitalise on the buzz around Ashburton and the genuine demand for a traditional town centre pub.
Tenure
The Royal Oak is held on a private, Free of Tie, 20 year lease (with 16 years unexpired) at a passing rent of £27,500 per annum plus £1,599.44 buildings insurance. The lease is fully repairing and insuring with rent reviews every 3 years.
Inventory
To include furnishings and equipment as per an inventory to be supplied, but excluding the owners personal effects and importantly any Hound of the Baskervilles memorabilia.
Stock
Wet and Dry stock in trade and Bar Glassware will be taken over by the purchaser at valuation on the day of completion.
