Risby is a small quaint Suffolk village near the A14 trunk route, just 2 miles west of Bury St Edmunds and 5 miles east of Newmarket. There are local bus services to both towns and an abundance of properties in a traditional village with 300 houses, 900 residents, and an active parish council. There are other small villages close by, with nearly 20,000 people within a 10 minute drive time.  The village also has a church, a village hall, and a cafe. The pub is set right in the middle of the village and is the only licensed premises available. The average house price for a typical 3 bedroom, semi-detached, is circa £500k – making it a relatively affluent area due to its access to major local hubs, trunk routes, and surrounding areas. The pub is becoming available due to the retirement of the current licensees after over 21 years at the helm. 

The pub is originally from the 18th century and has been extended in several places over the years to create different trading zones. There are two distinct trade areas – the front is nearest the main road and the rear is closest to the large car park. The front entrance door is set back from the main road at the side of the pub off the driveway, and upon entry, leads you into a vestibule area where you have access to the toilets, the main dining area on the right, or the slightly more ‘bar’ area on the left.  There is a bar servery in both areas and a very well-equipped kitchen accessed from behind the bar. 

There is a large car parking area at the rear of the pub for approximately 16 cars.

The private accommodation consists of three well-sized bedrooms a lounge and a bathroom. Use of the catering kitchen downstairs would be required for private use.
