    The Business

    The business is currently operated as a wet-led public house by our client and three part-time members of staff. The venue supports a darts team and a pool team and hosts a number of celebratory occasions throughout the year, such as birthday parties and family gatherings. The Coach & Horses is also renowned for its annual 'Bam Fest' which can attract an audience of up to 2000 people. This event features 12 live bands, seven external food vendors and a selection of 30 different beers, 30 different gins and 20 different ciders.

    The business’s custom is generated by a combination of destination trade and local drinkers. It is particularly popular with campers, caravanners and motorhome guests and the conversion of part of the outbuilding to a toilet/shower block may boost trade further.

    The most recent annual net turnover stood at £210,727. Further accounting detail will be made available to seriously interested parties following a formal viewing.
