Property details
An exciting opportunity has arisen with one of the landlords flagship pubs, the Sheldan Inn, which underwent a major refurbishment with a contemporary re-fit just last year. Situated in the town of Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire located just 20 miles from London with excellent transport links to the capital. Welwyn Garden City was the second garden city in England and one of the first new towns. The Sheldan is a family-friendly pub offering food all day, TV sports, and regular live entertainment. The building is a prominent corner property on the purpose-built Haldans shopping parade. The locality comprises three individual housing areas ranging from high-end private dwellings to fair-quality council housing and a population of approximately 50,000.
The retail space has been optimised to a high level, by creating an open versatile trading area for value diners and drinkers with families. The new look has created distinct areas for diners, drinkers, games, and a function room, whilst retaining an open feel and flow throughout the pub. The design of each area creates a relaxed and cosy feel with a range of seating and sofas. A new purpose-built commercial kitchen is of a good size and able to cope with a high volume food offer with over 50 covers. The new function room with its own bar is perfect for business meetings of up to 50 and accommodates parties of up to 100. It already holds Jazz Clubs at lunchtime and is used by local councillors for meetings.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, a separate toilet, and a lounge all decorated to a high standard.

Trading style
The Sheldan is currently offering a varied and traditional pub-style menu, and a lot of the lunch trade comes from the surrounding businesses. The bar offers a selection of beers, ciders, and wines and caters to the growing spirit trade with gins and whiskeys. Weekends are busy with tribute acts and live entertainment which are very popular amongst the locals. To protect the local community from the noise all windows have double/triple glazing and the landlords have recently installed air conditioning to ensure a comfortable environment during the busy entertainment evenings. The Sheldan has a strong online presence with a fantastic website www.sheldaninn.co.uk and a growing number of “followers” on social media.
The landlords are looking for someone with a wealth of experience, along with a proven track record of implementing and running a successful food offer in a community pub. You’ll be passionate about delivering a quality value food and drink offer in an environment that keeps people coming back time and time again.
