About the Pub

The Greyhound Hotel is an impressive traditional pub that lies in the heart of the busy market town of Wadhurst. Currently operating from one bar with a separate restaurant area, an extensive garden, patio with benched seating, function room and five en-suite letting rooms make this a fantastic opportunity for an experienced operator.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

Wadhurst is a market town in East Sussex which lies six miles south east of Tunbridge Wells, at the crossroads of the B2100 and the B2099. With a long high street of tile-hung cottages and many independent shops and businesses, the Greyhound is positioned with plenty on its doorstep. Wadhurst’s main line rail station also gives access to London in under an hour providing a great network to and from the capital.

Surrounding Area

The Greyhound is located in the centre of the town, on the corner of the high street with plenty of passing trade opportunities. This is the only business with letting rooms available in the town which is a real USP for this site. Complimented by a separate dining area and a community bar with cosy open fires this is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced operator who can further develop the food opportunity alongside being the local community pub.
