Description
The Old Swan dates back to the 1811 and sits in the heart of Wrexham city centre. The city offers a wide variety of retail and hospitality outlets and the pub is located on its main drinking circuit. Wrexham has a population of 61,000 and is situated between the Clwydian mountain range and the Lower Dee Valley, neighbouring the county of Cheshire. The area has plenty to entertain visitors, including cultural and historic treasures such as the 16th century Gothic Church of St Giles and 1200 acres of National Trust land, in addition to Wrexham AFC which has put the city on the map in recent years, thanks to the club’s Hollywood owners and their international fame.
The town centre is orbited by a ring road. The A483 which provides access to Chester northbound and Oswestry southbound. The B5430 connects to the A494 to the west and provides access to North Wales’s coastal towns and Snowdonia National Park.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated operator or chef to take over this historic Wrexham public house. The Old Swan is an established business with a strong and loyal customer base, and whilst the business has recently been run as a wet-led venue (which is popular with locals), its city centre location means there is scope to introduce a food offering. Our client has advised that net sales are in the region of £300,000 per annum for the public house, along with an additional £20,000 rental income from the 4 flats (flats only to be included in a freehold sale).
