Bought by our clients in 2005 as a wet led public house, in 2014 it was completely developed and refurbished throughout, with the addition of extensive storage, cellar and a full catering kitchen. The property sits prominently along New Street, over two levels, with public areas all on the ground floor and a large 4 bedroom owners flat above (currently used for storage). To the rear are extensive outside dining facilities, patio and beer garden, which are all enclosed.

THE BUSINESS

Since purchasing the property, it has been totally transformed and has established itself as one of the most reputable public houses in the area, not just for its atmosphere and surroundings but the quality of food that it offers. As a result, the food sales account for c. 40% of the turnover and it is supported very well both locally and by the surrounding towns. With a 4.5 rating on TripAdvisor it is regarded as one of the best food offerings in the area, serving quality “pub food”.
The sale of the Pop Inn is an excellent business opportunity for any discerning purchaser looking to get into the market as it trades well across both food and wet sales and would be a great addition to any private multiple operators’ portfolio or as a privately run family operation/ chef proprietor. Currently run by a full complement of staff it is easily managed/staffed due to the internal layout.
Opening Hours: Mon, Tues and Wed- 10am-10pm, Thurs & Fri- 10am-12am, Sat – 9am-1am and Sun- 9am- 10pm.

INTERNAL DETAILS

The Pop Inn is very deceiving from the outside due to its narrow façade and extends largely to the rear. Having had a refurbishment in 2014, the property is presented well throughout with the public bar and dining areas offered on an open plan basis, with a well-stocked bar gantry along one wall. Seating is by way of free-standing tables and chairs, perimeter seating and additional bar stools. Food is served throughout the day and can accommodate c. 30 covers with direct access from the side of the pub directly to the beer gardens and al fresco dining facilities at the rear, which can accommodate a further 30 covers. There is additional garden at the far end of the outside area. The kitchen to the rear of the property is accessed directly from the open plan bar.
There is also a staircase leading to the owner’s flat which runs up the side of the building.
