The Business
The Eagle's Head is a food-led public house which is well supported by locals and residents of the surrounding villages. It is also enjoyed by walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. The business has little competition in the area and is hugely popular with visitors in the spring and summer months, many of whom stay in the surrounding holiday homes and holiday parks. Our clients have operated the pub since 2018 and, in that time, have overseen much investment and refurbishment. The Eagle's Head has its own website - www.eagleshead.co.uk - and boasts excellent reviews on Google, Trip Advisor and various social media pages.
Our clients advise net sales for the year ended January 2024 were £223,000, whilst net sales for the year ended January 2023 were £228,000. Full trade accounts can be made available following a formal viewing with consent from our clients. This is an exciting opportunity for a new operator to enjoy a perfect work/lifestyle balance and, in our opinion, would suit a couple, an aspiring chef or a family team.
