Run a Stonegate Pub - Merryfellow Inn Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

About the Pub

The Merryfellow is located in the centre of the highly desirable Charlton Kings village on the outskirts of Cheltenham and in easy reach of the beautiful Cotswold countryside. The pub has a modern bar, which is laid to carpet, traditional wood, and tiled bar apron giving a different feel to different areas. The bar comprises a horseshoe shaped, multi-level space served by one bar servery, with a snug library to one side and more open area and traditional log burner to the other. The property is set with décor and amenities to create different areas to relax with a meal or drink. The pub also has the advantage of a function room and restaurant which has seating for approximately 60 covers and opens out through bi-fold doors into the raised patio outside. The trade kitchen is located between the main bar area and the skittle alley and fitted sufficiently to provide a traditional pub menu. Externally there is an enclosed multi-level garden to the rear of the premises which is a great sun trap in summer. There is a paved patio area immediately outside the restaurant, with rattan furniture, which has bifold doors opening out. The lower area is turfed with a number of timber chairs and tables. Total seating within the garden is up to 40 people. Accessed immediately from the bar is a covered and heated smoking shelter, there is also a large tarmac car park to the side of the premises with space for approximately 25 vehicles. The private accommodation is ideal for a small family and offers two bedrooms, an open plan kitchen diner, a lounge and separate bathroom. Stonegate Pub Partners are now seeking an experienced publican with catering skills who can continue a quality pub food menu. The new publican will also need to integrate with the local people keeping the pub at the heart of the community.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

This is a superb opportunity to take on a well-known business in the heart of the popular Charlton Kings. With a great reputation for its Sunday roast there is also a great opportunity to expand on this and work with me to enable the Merryfellow to become a real community hub for Charlton Kings. I am looking for a publican who has strong experience within catering and wet-led sales and hope to be speaking with you soon.
