Run a Stonegate Pub - Moulders Arms Chester Le Street, Tyne and Wear

About the Pub

The Moulders Arms is an attractive, two-bar property located in an elevated position overlooking Birtley in the valley below. The pub is traditional in style with a cosy drinker’s bar and a larger lounge, adjacent to a fully equipped catering kitchen. Externally there is a large car park and stunning grassed beer garden with wooden benches. There is a small awning to the rear of the property which is used as a smoking shelter. The pub underwent a full refurbishment in 2017 including the living quarters so the large and airy rooms are in reasonable decorative order. Stonegate Pub Partners are seeking a catering minded publican who wants to embed themselves into the local community.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

The customer base is predominantly drawn from the nearby housing estates bringing a local community to the pub. However, a good catering offer can attract customers from further afield. If the pub is to develop further and achieve its true potential, then the food offer will need to be of the highest quality whilst ensuring that the expectations of the local catchment area are met.

Surrounding Area

Birtley is located south of central Gateshead next to the A1 and not far from the popular tourist attraction, Angel of the North. The Moulders Arms is in an ideal location for visitors of this landmark to grab a bite to eat. The pub is located next to St James church, with a range of housing and a school nearby. Birtley Golf Club and the war memorial gardens are less than 1/4 mile away from the pub bringing a large footfall from these local amenities.
