Property details
The Roebuck is a large, detached community pub located in the village of Marchwood, which is situated between Totton and Hythe some 6 miles by road from the city of Southampton. The village sits on the west side of Southampton water, just to the east of The New Forest and it has an abundance of good quality residential housing. With the pub being located in the village centre, it is opposite several local shops and facilities including a grocery store, post office, hairdressers, pharmacy, and launderette. Southampton has many fantastic attributes as a city, including being one of the busiest cruise ports in the UK. With 2 major Universities, a very popular Theatre, amazing music venues, daily boat trips, museums, galleries, shopping centres, and the New Forest on your doorstep, you are never short of things to do and see.
Upon entering the Roebuck, you will note that the trade area is open plan and dominated by the long, central bar servery. To the left-hand side of the bar, there is a games area with a pool table, darts, and games machines. To the right-hand side is the main drinking/dining space and there is also a raised area, set out for food covers. Behind the bar is located a fully equipped and compliant mains gas kitchen which can easily serve an ample food offer. On the first floor, there are 4 letting rooms, which are all en-suite.
Externally, there is a beer garden laid out to the side of the property, which includes a children's play area.
The private accommodation at present consists of one main bedroom with en suite and an additional storage room. There is scope to convert one of the letting rooms back to a private space .

Trading style
The Roebuck currently trades as a predominantly wet-led business with a small food offer and 4 en-suite letting rooms provide an additional income stream. Sales mix is 70/30 – wet/dry and a good variety of drinks are available along with a traditional Sunday carvery and a regular meal of the day on offer during the week. Live sports are a key feature, as are pub teams and live entertainment and regular quizzes and games are nearly always available. The pub is a real community business and attracts a loyal, local customer base, as well as an element of passing trade.
The landlords are seeking to secure a dynamic and experienced retailer, who is capable of developing and maximising all 3 income streams, wet, dry and accommodation sales. The new licensee must be multi-skilled and possess the ability to maximise the trading opportunities that this pub presents as a whole. They must be community focused and ensure the pub is the hub of Marchwood village life. The Roebuck has the opportunity to be a great place to be for the right tenant. Having village life to suit but also having the ability to run a great business within, this is going to be ideal for someone who is looking to really put their mark on a place. A great social media presence and some well placed marketing skills would really benefit this site and being able to push and drive an innovative food offer will really put the pub back into the heart of the community where it needs to be.
