Run a Stonegate Pub - Red Lion Ashford, Kent

About the Pub

The Red lion is situated in the picturesque village of Biddenden. surrounded by beautiful countryside and tourist attractions. The Red Lion has been under the same ownership for the last 35 years and due to retirement, the opportunity has come up to breathe new life into the village pub. The pub is situated just off the main road to Maidstone and is now the only pub left in the village. The building is full of character and has flexible trading spaces, consisting of two internal areas with scope for a function room, and two external outdoor areas that is extremely popular in the warmer months. Stonegate is currently looking for a publican who is able to continue the success of this wonderful pub, whilst also utilising the additional areas that are not necessarily being used to the best advantage currently.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

A truly lovely village pub that has been run by the same couple for the past 35 years. This is a great opportunity for an experienced operator to breathe new life into the building and develop the trade further.
