Run a Stonegate Pub - Golden Fleece Keighley, West Yorkshire

About the Pub

The Golden Fleece is a detached, well-presented public house situated within the heart of Oakworth. The pub is within close proximity to many outstanding areas of beauty, including the Bronte County and tourist attractions, encouraging heavy footfall from the visitors of these sites. The business is well supported by both locals and passing trade with ample opportunity to increase footfall with extended opening hours. The Golden Fleece is traditionally decorated with a mixture of loose and fixed seating accommodating 45 customers throughout. There is an area where bar snacks can be served, one for casual drinkers and a small section for children with a small pool table. The pub also features a main pool area where the pub's team plays and is popular amongst the local community. Due to the layout, there is a section that can be used for private events and parties which is an additional stream of revenue. The current kitchen facilities are compact and has the capacity for producing bar meals. The pub also boasts a large patio and beer garden located at the rear with a number of wooden picnic benches that can seat up to 60 people, ideal for extra trade during the warmer months. The business is a well varied community hub that supports village life. The private accommodation consists of three-bedrooms, a lounge, dining area kitchen and bathroom. Stonegate Pub Partners are looking for a new publican to take on this already successful establishment and develop it further.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

The Golden fleece is a fantastic food led pub situated in the village of Oakworth with little competition as there is only one other pub in the surrounding area. It has a three-room operation with large outdoor trading areas that prove very popular during the warmer months. There is a caravan park located less than half a mile away and would benefit from a food offering and events. Overall, I am looking for a publican with food-experience to take the business further and utilise business from the surrounding village.

Surrounding Area
