GENERAL INFORMATION

THE BUSINESS

The Mariners Arms is a very well established wet led village pub, situated just off the town centre in a highly densely populated residential area. The pub has a loyal customer base and well regarded reputation within the community, which is boosted all year by the many visitors to this part of North Devon.

The pub has been owned by the Lessees for over 17 years and is now run under management by a manager and two part time staff. The pub does not offer food although this could be easily introduced and would significantly improve the performance of the business.

The Mariners Arms has a strong local following and supports three men's skittles teams and two ladies' skittles teams, with a separate darts team.

The pub provides TNT and Sky Sports, which is a huge draw for trade. The large garden to the rear is extremely popular, as is the function room used for many different events throughout the year.
