Run a Stonegate Pub - Victoria Gate Taunton, Somerset

About the Pub

The Victoria Gate, Taunton is an attractive and traditional wet led pub equipped with a pool table and darts board for entertainment. Situated on the main road leading into Taunton town centre, there is plenty of passing trade from the local businesses and a strong local trade from the nearby residents. Evening trade is bolstered by the frequent pool and darts teams who visit for the pub games and sports viewing. The Victoria Gate offers a new starter or an experienced publican a fantastic opportunity to take on a traditional pub business that has a strong and loyal drinking trade. There is potential for the new publican to introduce a simple pub food menu and offer entertainment such as discos, karaoke and quiz nights to draw in additional trade and maximise revenue.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

The Victoria Gate offers a great opportunity to take on a traditional pub business and would suit an experienced publican who enjoys running a community pub. I am also happy to speak with someone new to the trade looking to run their first pub business. The previous publicans have built a strong and loyal drinking trade with many of the local residents visiting for the live sport and pub games. There is potential for the new publican to introduce a simple home cooked menu and offer entertainment including disco, karaoke and quiz nights which have proved successful in the past.
