    Location

    The village Tadmarton stands a few miles from the eastern edge of the Cotswolds some four miles west of the market town of Banbury which stands alongside the M40 motorway. The village is a very select and sought after residential area, popular with those not just living in Banbury, but with the Midlands and London conurbations.

    The Lampet Arms is prominently located in the heart of the village and is an attractive Georgian building which stands opposite the Parish Church. It has a wealth of charm and character with an open plan main bar area, surprisingly large owner accommodation at first floor (part of which has in the past been utilised as bed & breakfast accommodation), and a separate converted Barn/Coach House which houses four quality en suite letting bedrooms. There are gardens and car parking, and the property is briefly described as follows:-

    The Business

    Our clients purchased the business in 2012 when it was closed. The property has subsequently been refurbished but by our clients own admission trade is not currently being exploited. Our client is a single lady owner/occupier and is finding the demands of the business too much for one person. We are advised that trade averages between £3,000 and £3,500 per week split 40% accommodation, 30% wet and 30% dry. This will highlight to prospective purchasers the clear prospect of developing the catering side of the business further and would also bring considerable benefits to the drinks trade.
