Run a Stonegate Pub - Papermakers Ilford, Greater London

About the Pub

The Papermakers is a traditional three-storey, one bar open-plan pub occupying the corner plot of Roden Street and Riverdene Road just off the ring road in Ilford town centre, a short walk from the busier Cranbrook Road in Ilford town centre. This well-established wet-led pub attracts locals and regulars and has a real community feel featuring four screens showing SKY & BT sports, a pool table, juke box and dart board. The main bar area enjoys an open and airy feel but retains warmth with mixed furnishings and a central U-shaped bar that also helps to split the pub into two distinct sides with overall space for up to 80 covers. To the side of property is an enclosed garden which can accommodate 20 covers which has the potential to become a lovely outdoor drinking space. The four-bedroom private accommodation has two bathrooms, a living room, bathroom and kitchen, separated over two floors. Stonegate Pub Partners are seeking an experienced operator to continue the growth of this business, whilst maintaining the current established customer base.
