Experienced Operator
Trading style
The Fingerpost presently operates as a thriving establishment known for its emphasis on fine dining and a vibrant community drinking scene. However, there is substantial room for growth and diversification to attract a wider range of demographics in the future.
One promising avenue for expansion lies in the impressive bar area, which has the potential to become a hub for local patrons seeking a diverse range of beverages. With an extensive selection of products, including a variety of cask ales that perfectly complement this style of operation, the pub can entice a broader local audience looking for a great place to enjoy their preferred drinks. On the catering front, the establishment’s back-of-house capabilities can support a large-scale food operation. The food offering can be tailored to cater to a diverse market, spanning from value dining options to a more upscale, gourmet experience. To maximize its appeal, it’s essential to focus on a specific target market while offering a comprehensive menu. Notably, Sunday roasts can serve as a cornerstone of the food offering, drawing patrons in for a traditional and delicious dining experience. By strategically expanding and marketing both the bar and food offerings, The Fingerpost is poised to attract a wide array of customers, ensuring its continued success and growth in the market. The Fingerpost presents a remarkable opportunity ideally suited for an experienced food operator with aspirations to expand their current portfolio. The surrounding market in this area is substantial, making it advantageous to focus efforts on one specific and well-defined target market.
