Amazing turn-key operation, ready to trade the minute you step through the door!

This is a rare and exciting opportunity for an experienced dynamic pub operator or entrepreneur to work in partnership with pub owners to reposition a superbly located, high-profile pub within the market. The owning pub co is looking to invest considerably into the pub in early 2021 to develop and deliver a fantastic buzzing social space working with a visionary operator who possesses the vision, and skills to develop a compelling operational plan that gives reasons to visit over and above the traditional, and expected, fantastic, friendly, engaging service and the offer of a superb extensive range of continental Lagers, English Ciders, British Ales and Superior spirits. The proposition and operating plan for this pub must consist of compelling reasons to visit but remain very much pub focussed at its heart and should include a unique and stunning food offer along with an engaging weeknight and weekend activity proposal that embraces the local high quality local live music and arts scene.

The repositioning of the business within the marketplace could incorporate a name change to reconnect with its traditional roots. The pub is situated a short walk from Oxford’s bustling city centre on a busy main road occupied predominantly by boutique B&B’s and a 250-room hotel, alongside a strong, upwardly mobile community and student population. 

The pub benefits from a large open-plan trading area that accommodates 80+ seats serviced by a single easily operated bar servery. There is a very well-appointed trade kitchen which is more than capable of delivering most styles of a menu to the level of covers in the trading areas. There is a large ground-floor cellar.

On the first floor, there are four letting rooms, two en-suite letting rooms and two shared facility letting rooms. Rooms in Oxford are consistently in demand meaning potential excellent occupancy levels and room rates generating a very strong additional income stream.

To the rear of the building, there is a secluded beautiful patio/beer garden that can seat an additional 40+. Both of the trading areas are flexible and can be adapted to suit the trading requirements of the day or week thus lending itself very well to working as a Chameleon site.

The private accommodation consists of secure office space and a self-contained flat with two large rooms, a kitchen, and two bathrooms. There is the potential for four letting rooms.
