THE BUSINESS:
This is an old established hostelry which enjoys all the significant commercial and private advantages of an incredible trading position in the charming village of Wanstrow which lies on the busy main A359 visitor route to Bruton and Frome in a pleasant rural area of Somerset.
Operating from extensive detached premises of real appeal and character, this concern has become a crucial point of the community in the course of many years’ successful trading by providing all the extremely well fitted traditional free house licensed bar and games facilities associated with an establishment of this kind and is locally renowned for its range of fine cask conditioned CAMRA and Cask Marque approved real ales.
“The Pub At Wanstrow” also offers a full and wide-ranging menu of classic home-cooked pub meals snacks and Sunday lunches prepared freshly to order in its widely equipped catering kitchen employing the finest locally sourced produce wherever obtainable and served in the very pleasant surroundings of an intimate lounge bar and dining area which may house up to twenty covers in style and comfort with additional general bar covers also available if required.
The business is additionally home to no less than sixteen local skittle teams and would naturally furnish any eager purchaser with vast scope for continued growth, not least with regard to substantial further development of its food trade, the possible introduction of entertainment trade and to operating vastly extended hours in order to completely exploit year round local demand.
This concern would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more dynamic marketing policy of its brilliant existing facilities and services predominantly with reference to the introduction of online advertising in order to improve upon the already very respectable levels of turnover and profitability it has achieved in the course of eleven successful years’ trading in the hands of a husband and wife partnership with the aid of just one part time assistant.
Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to some major local, regional or indeed national operator in the licensed industry looking to radically increase its existing share of the market by the attainment of an extremely well located free of tie establishment with a valuable local name and an established customer base and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
