Run a Stonegate Pub - Stag Maidstone, Kent

About the Pub

The Stag Inn is situated on a prominent position in the centre high street of Maidstone in close proximity of all amenities, shops and the main shopping mall. The pub has been recently refurbished to a high standard and benefits from several charming features including exposed beams and wooden flooring. The open plan bar is tastefully decorated in a modern style, with an inviting central servery which host international brands and has plenty of room for the merchandising of wines and spirits. There is space to accommodate up to 60 covers on dining tables and chairs, and there is additional seating at the bar. The reasonably equipped commercial kitchen is located on the first floor but may need some investment to get up to scratch to develop a traditional pub menu. Externally, to the front of the pub is a pavement patio with room to seat around dozen customers. This space is perfect for al fresco dining, relaxing with drinks, and also provides a convenient smoking solution. there is also some seating that can be used at the rear of the pub. The private accommodation is well presented and a good size for a couple of family. There are four bedrooms, a lounge and kitchen area. Stonegate Pub Partners are now seeking an experienced publican who have the knowledge and skills to develop this well-established, town centre pub.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

Having been recently refurbished externally, the Stag is in excellent condition throughout and benefits from heavy footfall, being in the heart of busy Maidstone. The pub has a strong local following and its appeal to locals could be further enhanced with a strong, traditional food offering. I am interested in hearing from experienced operators who have the knowledge and skills to develop a successful business in this bustling town centre.
