Summary - THE BULL, BASINGSTOKE ROAD RG7 1QL
1 bed 1 bath Pub
Live-in, countryside pub with strong local trade and expanded outdoor seating.
- Traditional village pub with exposed oak beams and rustic interior
The Bull is a traditional village pub on the outskirts of Reading, set in a picturesque Riseley location with countryside views and easy road access. Internally it offers an L-shaped trading area with about 45 covers, exposed oak beams and a warm, rustic character that suits a food-led or classic drinks-led operation.
Externally the site includes a front patio (approx. 30 covers), enclosed rear garden (approx. 35 covers) with a children’s play area and a private car park for up to 15 vehicles — strong assets for family trade and seasonal visitors to nearby Wellington Country Park. The one-bedroom owner’s accommodation above provides practical live-in convenience for an operator.
Operationally the business shows an immediate income stream (Year 1 rent of £22,620) and a low current rateable value (£4,150). The tenancy is a fixed-term contract running to 30 May 2029 and the business is fully tied to a discounted Shepherd Neame pricelist; these commercial terms suit an experienced operator or investor prepared to work within a tied model.
Practical considerations include a compact trade kitchen and some refurbishment potential to expand the food offering or modernise fixtures. Estimated ingoing costs and deposits are modest, but prospective purchasers should review the tie, workplace transfers, and trading performance in detail before committing.
