The Business
Our clients have operated The White Horse Inn since 2016 and have now decided to sell to permit retirement. The public house is the hub of the community, offering quiz, pool, dominos and football teams as well as being the main venue for local events and functions. The pub boasts an extensive food menu with all ingredients being sourced locally.
Net sales for the year ended 2022 were in the region of £225,000 with a net profit of approximately £40,000. There is potential to increase sales by utilising part or all of the owners’ accommodation, which has seen much investment and renovation in recent years, as short term holiday lets, and by converting the large garage to the rear of the property to self-contained apartments (STPP) to meet high demand in the area.
