Pub Overview
The Flint Cottage is a grade II listed building standing prominent on the main road with lots of character, including a working fireplace and two other fireplaces which are ornamental. The pub is open plan but boasts lots of different areas within the trading area with a mixture of both low seating for dining and higher seating for more casual drinking. There is one main servery and good size domestic kitchen, a very large basement cellar and an amazing rear garden area. The domestic accommodation is very spacious with office, shower room, kitchen, lounge and four good sized bedrooms.
Property
Large open plan bar and dining area with up to 84 covers, lovely covered patio area with 38 covers, large enclosed garden with 20 picnic benches, well equipped purpose made catering kitchen, large basement cellar and large living accommodation area above the pub.
Business Potential
There is potential to build on the food offer in the daytime and evening with a well equipped catering kitchen and plenty of covers inside and out. In the evening there is potential for in house entertainment and events. The main attraction is the garden which is unusual in this built up area so will attract plenty of custom in the summer months. With a suitable operator running the site we suggest a fair maintainable turnover to be in the region of £425,000 per annum suggesting a profit of £28,500 plus machine income.
Suitable Applicants
This pub would suit an experienced operator who is used to trading a busy town pub in the daytime for shoppers and passing footfall. It also has the extra benefit of the train station opposite, which can attract commuters traveling into London and back, then moving trade into the later evening hours. Ideally, an energetic couple who could cover both front and back of house, being able to facilitate the evening trade.
