Property details
The Rose and Crown is a detached pub situated in the historic market town of Warminster in western Wiltshire between Salisbury and Bath. The pub sits on the outskirts of the town centre and is located on a main thoroughfare, with regular bus services stopping just outside. Local housing surrounds the pub, making it a prominent feature within the community and a central hub for locals and visitors alike. The town has a strong sense of history, with a well-preserved town centre showcasing its market heritage.
Access to the pub is granted via the front door, the well-stocked bar is on the right-hand side upon entry and spreads across the length of the pub. The exposed brick and mixed flooring creates a cosy atmosphere within the pub. This is well balanced with a mixture of seating options to encourage casual drinking at the bar and seated drinking and dining. There is a function room situated upstairs in the pub, which has its own bar and can hold up to twenty people. This is perfect for private parties and community events. A small, but EHO-compliant commercial kitchen is through the bar area and can be utilised to serve functions. The pool table is in a separate area and is located to the rear of the pub, in the perfect location to welcome in sports teams and continue trade as usual in busy periods.
Also to the rear of the pub is an enclosed courtyard, which is perfect for drinking and dining on summer evenings.
The private accommodation is a separate cottage to the rear which has 2 bedrooms, separate living room, bathroom and kitchen.

Trading style
The Rose and Crown is a predominantly drinks-focused pub, with a variety of cask ale, lagers and spirits. With a small catering kitchen, the pub has the opportunity to introduce a food offering. The pub is a central hub for the surrounding residents, and they have a fantastic entertainment programme with weekly live music, which is popular with the local community. The currently underused function room is sizeable and can be utilised for parties and events. There is an opportunity to drive sports teams and to introduce Sky Sports and TNT at the pub. The enclosed outdoor courtyard is very popular in warmer months and encourages al fresco drinking and socialising.
The current licensee has built a strong foundation that any future operator will be able to maintain and build upon. The landlords are looking for a great community pub operator who will embrace all aspects of running a drinks-focused pub. A strong marketing plan is a must to invite the wider community into the pub, especially throughout off-peak times in the mid-week. There is scope to broaden the offering in terms of mid-week activity, such as quizzes, community events, sports, and catering for functions within the community. There is a basic commercial kitchen, that will enable the introduction of a small food offering.
