Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this well appointed public house and restaurant, which has been in the careful hands of our client since 2002. The only reason this business is for sale is due to our clients desire to take well deserved retirement. Since our clients took ownership of the public house they have invested time and money in the business and premises to the point that it is in a full walk in condition. Our clients inform us that annual turnover currently runs at £188,777 with a gross profit of £110,548 which is derived from the sale of both superb restaurant fayre with wines, beers and spirits to compliment. The business is currently run at a pace to suit our clients lifestyle, meaning that there is massive scope for a new hands on owner to further develop the business. Our client is very generously including all fixtures and fittings in the sale price which is a huge plus as additional funds will not need to be spent for the foreseeable future. The restaurant enjoys excellent levels of repeat business with many customers visiting for several years. This thriving concern also sees many new customers from good word of mouth recommendations and from the excellent location. This is without question a beautifully presented property which is situated in one of the UK’s most desirable countryside locations.

Location: |
This exceptional freehold public house is situated in a beautiful village on the Dorset/Wiltshire borders. The property is located on the main road through the village, making it the central heart of the village. We are advised that there is a bi-annual steam and country fair which is whole-heartedly supported by the pub and is popular with both locals and visitors, resulting in a lot of repeat trade. The village is only a few minutes from the main A30 which gives easy access to all areas of the counties and beyond. This opportunity really does offer the picture postcard setting with beautiful views across the countryside and the ideal location close to neighbouring towns and attractions.
