Property details
Located in a small village between the affluent Hertfordshire towns of Hitchin and Baldock. The pub is a stone-built detached property that sits on a fairly large-sized plot. The pub is the only facility in the village. The pub has been with the same tenant for 30yrs, who has decided it is time to retire. The pub has a very well-established older clientele base who frequent the pub more through the lunchtime hours rather than in the evening.
As you enter the front main entrance you have a choice of two doors. To the right, you would access the public bar area with small bar servery and gents toilets. The area will seat approx. 30 customers and is used predominately for drinking and showing TV Sports. To the left, you enter into the large lounge area with a good-sized bar servery with a good choice of draught beers and a back bar displaying its wine and spirits offer. Currently, the lounge area is used for serving its traditional food offer and a quieter more relaxed drink. The area will accommodate approx. 60 covers.
A large terrace and garden are to the side of the building that can be accessed from the main lounge/dining bar area. The garden is well fenced in for safety. A small children's play area with climbing tree is also in use. No current external covered area, will be looked at, to benefit from year-round trading.
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a lounge, and a bathroom all in excellent condition. The commercial kitchen downstairs is also used for private cooking.

Trading style
The pub trades as a traditional country tavern, with a good selection of cask ales, premium beers, and a traditional country food menu with offers for various age groups and days of the week. Currently, its day trade is very strong with regular customers who have been coming to the pub for many many years for lunch. Opportunity to build on the current trade with more focus on late afternoons, early evenings, and night-time trade.
Current long-term tenants are retiring after 30 yrs in situ. Ideally, the landlords are looking for a vibrant food-led couple who will involve themselves with the local community and build local village support. Previous experience would be beneficial but a new-to-trade couple who are willing to work hard and produce a quality offer throughout the pub could also enjoy their first venture.
