This long-established roadside pub and cafe has traded for around 60 years on the A623, benefiting from steady tourist and local trade close to the Peak District National Park. The single-storey stone building seats approximately 50 internally with external dining on a timber porch and rear lawn picnic area, and offers up to c.70 car parking spaces across front and overspill areas—useful for peak-season turnover.
Sold freehold at £600,000, the business includes a catering kitchen, enclosed rear yards for storage and refuse, a mobile home used as staff accommodation, and a horsebox used for extra catering at busy times. Main services are mains gas with boiler and radiators; double glazing was fitted pre-2002. The property sits in a prosperous, low-crime rural village with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—practical for bookings and online promotion.
Practical considerations: the building dates from before 1900 with stone walls and is assumed to be without modern wall insulation, and the EPC is D. These facts suggest energy-performance and fabric upgrades could reduce running costs and improve comfort, but will require capital. The single-storey layout and ample parking make the site suitable for continued café/pub trading, further catering growth, pop-up events, or tourist-focused expansion.
This opportunity suits an owner-operator or investor seeking a turnkey rural hospitality site with clear upsides from marketing, marginal enhancement of facilities, and modest building improvements. Interested parties should factor in potential retrofit costs to improve energy efficiency and check operational licensing and planning for any intensified use.
