Run an Admiral Pub, Golden Cross, Harvington
Pub Layout: On entering the pub, you are greeted with a traditional panelled bar that is well stocked with cask ale, a variety of lagers, premium, esteem and core, an excellent choice of wine and a good range of gins and spirits. The right-hand side of the bar presents itself as a dining area complete with a log fire. This area could be sectioned off for private functions and events. The dining area has French doors that lead out to a good sized outdoor area and stepped garden. This is enclosed for the safety of children and backs on to the car park. This space is great for barbecues and events during the spring/summer and has 6 – 8 garden benches. The left-hand side of the bar is more informal with a darts board, pool table, TV and bar tables, this could easily be used for more food covers if desired. The good sized, well equipped commercial kitchen is accessed directly from behind the bar as well as from the dining area. An 8 space car park is located at the rear of the pub.
Trading Style: The Golden Cross prides itself on being the heartbeat of the local community. The current tenants have created a positive community feel with numerous community events such as charity events and fantastic live entertainment. Their live music evenings have been superbly supported. The pub no longer offers a full food menu, but the new licensee should look to focus on providing a traditional pub food menu which includes mid-week offers and lunch time specials to attract clientele from further afield. The bar has a wide range of cask and keg and a good selection of wines and spirits. A good rhythm of the week with darts team, quiz nights, games nights, a variety of music and entertainment gives the people of Harvington and surrounding areas a reason to visit and return.
Accommodation: The private accommodation is located on the first floor of the pub and is all in good decorative order. It comprises of three good sized bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, office and bathroom.
