Our clients have owned The New Inn since July 2019 and operate the premises as a traditional canal side pub offering a varied selection of drinks and a traditional British Classics food menu. The business’s main custom comes by way of its destination clientele who travel to the pub from neighbouring villages and towns. In addition, the business benefits from a sizeable amount of passing nautical trade due to its location adjacent to the busy Grand Union Canal, this type of custom is particularly prevalent between March-October. The site also sits alongside the A5 major road, and is especially busy during the Silverstone race events, being located on one of the major routes to the race track. The New Inn also hosts a skittles team and accommodates birthday parties, wakes and other family functions.

The business is operated by our husband and wife clients with one other full-time and five part-time members of staff. The opportunity to increase sales is available by extending the pub’s opening hours since it is currently closed on Mondays to suit our clients’ lifestyle.

Annual net turnover for the year ended 31st May 2024 stands at £342,622, resulting in a net profit of £81,288 with an adjusted net profit in the region of £88,000.
