Self Employed Pub Opportunity -

Looking to run a pub?

The Claremont (new name) sits in a vibrant area overlooking the historic city of Bath, enjoying great views of the whole city. Previously a standard community proposition called the Rising Sun, we are investing heavily in this pub to transform it into a more modern and relevant concept in the area. Working with the very best operator, we'll have the opportunity to drive a quality-led, community premium offer in the market.

Refurbishment

Following transformational refurbishment work, the Claremont will have two main trading areas, set out with intelligent partitioning to create a cosy, but spacious, pub environment. The catering kitchen will be able to provide for up to 50 covers across the main bar and restaurant areas. The pub also has a conservatory. The pub is Cask Marque accredited and free WiFi is provided throughout. Outside, the current beer garden will receive a makeover and we plan to add a new outside area to the rear of the pub to make the most of its elevated position.

Accommodation

The domestic accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a kitchen and a lounge. Punch will ensure that this accommodation is in good order.

We're planning large-scale investment at this pub, which will overhaul the current building and structure, at this time the pub name will change to Claremont.

About the local area

Bath is a large city in its own right, but also benefits from a high influx of tourism all year round. The immediate area surrounding the Claremont is home to a mix of transient rental hubs and younger professionals and is constantly changing to attract more professionals to the area.

This pub may suit

The ideal operator will have good, relevant experience at a senior level in a high street bar or restaurant. Quality and attention to detail is key in this demanding market and energy to drive and promote a new concept is essential.
