Property details
The Mill Inn is a large detached traditional building, located on Mill Hill some half a mile from Deal Town centre on the South Kent coast. Deal is an affluent historical seaside town with a number of quality pubs, restaurants, hotels, and cafes. Deal is extremely popular with holidaymakers visiting Deal Beach along with Deal Castle. The Mill Inn is just 30 minutes south of Canterbury, which is under an hour to London on the train. Mill Hill and the surrounding area are heavily populated with residential housing on all sides of the property. There is a strong local community following at the prominently located Mill Inn. In 2021 there was a full refurbishment and re-decoration with new carpets in the licensee accommodation which is located over two floors. The landlords have also completed a full refurbishment on both the internals and externals and are we looking for a new licensee to unlock the potential this business can offer. As part of this investment, the kitchen was also updated so the pub could offer bar food and accommodate the large number of pool and darts teams who frequent the pub on a regular basis.
The pub is a large three-storey property. The trade area is split into two main areas with a mixture of fixed and loose seating, one large public bar which is dominated by a central bar servery, and also has a raised stage area to the rear for live entertainment, a pool table, and a television screen showcasing live sports. Toilets are situated to the rear of the room and there is a small catering kitchen behind the bar area. The smaller taproom is located on the right-hand side of the main bar area which hosts a darts area which teams play from.
Outside to the rear can be accessed through both the main bar lounge along the taproom. The large beer garden is made up of a patio area with seating, a grassed area with picnic benches along a children’s play area in the corner. There is no car park at the pub, however, on-street parking is available.
The private accommodation can be accessed through the bar area along with private access from outside the pub. Split over two levels and recently refurbished in 2021 including new carpets and improvements to the bathroom and private kitchen the accommodation is in good order. There are also four bedrooms, a lounge, and an office.

Trading style
