Regional Manager's Thoughts

I am looking for an experienced publican who understands the local area and marketing potential for the letting rooms available. I seek a publican that has some catering experience and has excellent customer service.

Surrounding Area

Surrounding the pub is beautiful countryside that makes for beautiful long walks and hikes. Supermarkets, schools, and other amenities are around a 15 min drive away, however the pub reaps in benefits of being rural with excellent views and letting accommodation available. The pub is accessed from the main A272 road and smaller village routes making it an ideal location for passing trade.
