Thriving gastro pub and hotel with function rooms

THRIVING DESTINATION PUB AND RESTAURANT WITH FUNCTION ROOMS AND SEPARATE DETACHED SINGLE STOREY BULDING WITH EIGHT EN-SUITE BOUTIQUE LETTING ROOMS The Bird in Hand trades as a food led bar and restaurant together with trade from private functions and events throughout the year. The food is highly rated with considerable return trade and there has been a growth in sales over the past few years and considerable investment in the improvement and expansion of the premises. There is currently seating inside for approximately 140 covers with two external seating areas to add additional summer trade. The kitchens have recently been totally refurbished and fitted to a high quality specification. Further planning exists to extend the property and there is a substantial customer car park and garden area.

Tenure

Freehold

A two bedroom manager's flat is situated above the main bar and this could be converted to provide additional letting bedrooms if required. Our clients are now intending to retire from the business leaving it in a very sound position with potential further growth and expansion possible. This opportunity should appeal to more experienced operators and corporate multiple retailers. Further information can be found at www.birdinhandwrenningham.com.

Location

The Bird in Hand is located in the heart of Norfolk, only a mile from Lotus Cars and seven miles south of Norwich. Other major centres in the area include Wymondham, Attleborough and Long Stratton.

The Opportunity

This business has been operated by the same family for some time and has established a highly respected trade and reputation within the area. Significant improvements to the fabric of the building including the addition of the eight new letting rooms, has built on the established trade and once promoted, these would provide an additional and significant added income to the already thriving trade.

Planning

Planning permission already exists for the extension of the existing function room for a further 30 covers creating a café seating 20 and the addition of a shop and post office. Further details can be obtained from the Agents or from the public access website of South Norfolk District Council, www.southnorfolk.gov.uk/planning.
