Regional Manager's Thoughts

This is an attractive roadside venue ideal for an experienced food operator. The interior has a traditional pub feel with a lovely large garden and children's play area. A family-orientated offering would do particularly well here although scope also exists to attract a younger clientele in the evenings by hosting live entertainment and possibly Sky/BT Sports. The food offer should be traditional pub grub with a value alternative at off-peak times.
