Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this well respected Pub and Restaurant with letting rooms which is located in St Issey near of Padstow. The business dates back to the 17th century and has been in the careful hands of our clients for the past 13 years and is reluctantly being offered for sale so that they can enjoy a well deserved retirement.
Since ownership they have continually redeveloped, refurbished and invested in new equipment along with fixtures
and fittings which are all bought and paid for and included within the sale price which is a huge plus for any new purchaser as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. The business is owner operated and requires the help of 2 full time and 3 part time members of staff and has an annual turnover of £251,028 with a gross profit of £140,633 (56%). The Ring O Bells serve quality fine ales with wet sales equating to 55% of the annual turnover, food sales are 35% where they serve good honest home cooked fayre which is freshly prepared to order on site using the finest locally sourced produce. The remaining 10% comes from the tastefully decorated letting rooms that benefit from flat screen TV’s and tea and coffee facilities. We believe that there is further potential to increase trade should you wish as the 4th guest bedroom is currently a store room and not being utilised. The business enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade along with many visiting tourists. This is a superb opportunity to purchase an established lifestyle business and as such early viewing is highly recommended as this business is not to be missed.
