Description

The Prince of Wales is situated in the East Sussex port town of Newhaven. The town lies in the Lewes District, at the mouth of the River Ouse. The town is known for its regular ferry services to the continent and is an important freight terminal. In 2021, the parish had a population of 12,854.

The town is an important employment hub in the area, boasting a large industrial and retail district housing retailers such as Sainsburys, B&Q and The Range, as well as a number of food production factories.

The Prince of Wales is situated on South Road, a residential street a short distance from the town centre. Despite being a residential area, South Road houses a fish and chip shop, kebab shop, convenience store and the town council offices.

The Prince of Wales is a two storey mid-terrace property, understood to have been built in the 1930's. The property is of brick construction under a pitched tile roof, with a unique green tile frontage with mock Tudor elevations above.

Our clients have owned and operated The Prince of Wales for the past 25 years. It operates as a traditional wet only public house serving the needs of the local community. The business enjoys a loyal, local following who use the premises on a daily basis. The business is operated as a lifestyle business by the current owners, without the need for additional staff.

The Prince of Wales prides itself on its lack of fruit machines and jukeboxes, focusing on a true pub experience centred around good beer and talking.

The pub does benefit from both a pool and dart team.

There is scope for a new owner to further the business by increasing the current opening hours, which are reduced to suit the lifestyle of the seller. Current opening hours are:
Monday to Wednesday: 14:00-20:00
Thursday to Saturday: 14:00 until late
Sunday: 12:00-17:00

Further accounting details can be made available to interested parties following a formal viewing.
