The Travellers Rest is a substantial building and trades well, opening only four days per week. It relies solely on wet trade.
The Traveller's Rest has been tenanted for a number of years.
No trade is sold or warranted. Historic trade accounts are unavailable. Any potential purchaser will need to reach their own conclusions as to the profitability that can be enjoyed at this outlet.
With an unused commercial grade catering kitchen, the pub has significant potential to diversify its offering and extend its trading hours. There is also scope to utilise the spacious function room to provide a venue for various events and, similarly, to develop the upper floor into letting bedrooms if the owner's accommodation is not required.
