The offer
The Red Lion is a village pub with a main trading area, 120 internal covers, four letting rooms, a catering kitchen, car park and large beer garden.
Our Foundation Tenancy agreement is our primary pub agreement under the Leased & Tenanted model that allows you to run your own pub business with the freedom to set the pub’s offer and be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the pub, while the rent for the premises is fixed for a five-year term. Backed by HEINEKEN UK, all L&T agreements are tied for beer, cider, alcopops and soft drinks, but free-of-tie on wine and spirits. Click here to find out more about this agreement.
We anticipate the estimated turnover for this pub to be in the region of £783,820. The pub currently has a food and drinks offer, including cask ales, coffees, pub classics, popular beers, ciders, wines and spirits. The site has the ability to drive trade through live sport, live entertainment, a strong food offer, letting room stays, and making the most of the beer garden and passing trade from the A167.
We’re also really interested to hear your ideas on how you would drive trade.
