LOCATION

The Bugle Inn sits at the heart of a vibrant and growing community. As of the 2021 Census, the village of Bugle has a population of 2,427 residents, reflecting a steady increase of over 15% from a decade prior, it remains a lively "village-centre local" where residents and visitors frequently gather for community events like the annual Bugle Silver Band festival.

As an ideal base for exploring both the rugged north coast and the sandy south. Located just five miles from the world-famous Eden Project, the inn offers easy access to some of the county's most iconic attractions, including the historic Lost Gardens of Heligan and the charming harbour town of Fowey. With the A30 just a short drive away, you are well-connected for day trips to Newquay's surfing beaches.

THE BUSINESS

Is currently open and trading.

The Bugle Inn operates with an established trade split of approximately 70% wet, 20% food and 10% accommodation, reflecting its strong local bar trade while still offering clear growth potential in food and rooms.

There is significant scope to strengthen the traditional bar meals offer, particularly during peak tourist season, develop a strong rhythm of the week through events and community engagement, maximise room occupancy through proactive marketing and digital presence, and further embed the pub at the heart of village life while capitalising on visitor trade.

The right operator will understand the importance of community connection while also being commercially aware and adaptable to seasonal demand.

We do not hold any accounting information nor can we warrant any trading figures.
