    The Business

    The Railway trades as a public house/restaurant which is popular with residents of both the village and the surrounding areas. Our clients have owned the business for 16 years and they currently only operate the pub as a lifestyle business (20 hours per week) which offers potential for increased trade. Net sales for the 2023 period are £72,437 with an adjusted net profit of £25,000. Full trade accounts will be made available to serious parties following any viewing. It is our opinion that this business would suit an aspiring chef or couple/family who are looking for the perfect work/life balance.
