About the Pub

The Marple Tavern is a neighbourhood pub situated 0.5 mile on the outskirts from Marple town centre. The Marple is a bright and airy pub that comprises two trading areas, a bar and a lounge, with a central bar servery, traditionally decorated, with wooden cladding and loose wooden furniture, comfortably seating 45 covers. The bar also encompasses a games section, which includes a pool table and darts board, and has proven very popular amongst the regulars. Solo artists and acoustic acts regularly perform in the lounge, which is a more intimate space, perfect for live entertainment and events. An enclosed garden is located to the rear, accessed via a side gate or from the pub through French doors. Picnic tables make the space ideal for al fresco dining in the summer, and tables and chairs may also be found beneath the trees to the side of the pub, adding great kerb appeal. The private accommodation consists of three-bedrooms, a lounge and a kitchen, all in good decorative order. Stonegate Pub Partners are seeking a new starter to the industry who is enthusiastic about driving the business forward.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

A spacious and well-presented pub, this is a brilliant opportunity for a new starter to the industry who has the enthusiasm to drive the business forward. Live sports and pub games support wet sales and there is scope to expand and develop a simple menu, to complement and drive daytime trade. The Marple offers plenty of untapped potential and by creating a premium local at the heart of the community the pub would appeal to a broader demographic.
