Property details
Shepton Mallet is a market town and civil parish located in Somerset, 16 miles southwest of Bath and 18 miles south of Bristol. As of 2019, it had an estimated population of 10,810. The town is nestled near the Mendip Hills to the north, with the River Sheppey flowing through it. Notably, Shepton Mallet is the closest town to the renowned Glastonbury Festival and is also in proximity to the Royal Bath and West of England Society showground. Shepton Mallet is well-connected by the A37, which links the town to Bristol to the north and Yeovil to the south. The A361 provides access to the town from the east and west, connecting to places like Glastonbury and Frome. The town is also within reach of the M5 motorway, with junctions at Bridgwater and Taunton, making it accessible from the broader motorway network. The town boasts a regular bus service, however, does not have its own railway station.
As you enter through the main roadside entrance, you'll immediately find yourself in the bar, which is a single-room setup with a central bar servery. The interior is furnished with a combination of fixed and loose seating, offering flexibility for different occasions. On the left side of the room, there’s a darts oche, perfect for engaging locals in friendly competition, while TVs are strategically placed on the right to cater to sports enthusiasts. Behind the bar, you'll find the domestic kitchen, conveniently located to serve the needs of the establishment and provide a back bar food offering. The ladies are located on one side of the bar, with the gents on the opposite side.
The hidden gem to this site is the garden area which is located at the back of the pub. There's a spacious outdoor drinking area that features a well-maintained terrace, used as a smoking solution, and a grassed area perfect for locals to enjoy the good weather.
The spacious accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a lounge, a bathroom, and a kitchen – (located downstairs).

Trading style
The Victoria Inn is available due to the retirement of its long-standing licensee. Despite its central location in the heart of Shepton Mallet, the pub has maintained its reputation as a true community local. Currently, the Victoria Inn operates as a drinks-only establishment, offering a welcoming atmosphere with entertainment options, some televised sports, and even hosting its own darts team. This pub has been a cornerstone for local residents, providing a familiar and friendly environment for socializing and community events.
This opportunity is perfect for an experienced licensee or someone eager to enter the trade. While not required, local knowledge could be a significant advantage. The landlords are looking for someone ready to take the helm of this well-established pub and propel the business to new heights. There’s great potential to introduce a back bar food service, host more regular events, and expand the sports offerings. Victoria’s standout feature is its status as the only pub in town with a beer garden, a unique selling point that the new licensee should fully leverage, especially during the warmer months.
