The Shoulder of Mutton is a well-established, food-led village pub occupying a prominent roadside position in affluent Middleton Tyas. The 400-year-old stone building combines original features—exposed beams, open fireplaces and stone flooring—with tasteful contemporary fittings. The trading area seats about 90+ (70 restaurant, 20 bar) plus a private dining/conference room for 20, and benefits from a beer terrace and large car park for c.40 vehicles.
Turnover for the year ended March 2023 was c.£545,000 and the business currently produces a healthy net profit, making it suitable for an experienced operator or investor seeking an income-generating leasehold. The sale includes most fixtures and fittings (subject to inventory), and the property has an EPC rating C. Owner's accommodation is at first-floor level with three bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and bathroom.
Practical considerations: the business is offered as a six-year rolling lease (commenced Oct 2023) with tied rent passing at £39,000 per annum. Trading hours are limited on weekdays (closed Mon–Tue; evenings midweek), which leaves scope to expand turnover for a buyer prepared to extend hours or diversify. Broadband speeds are slow and the property sits in an ageing rural neighbourhood; local demand is supported by a largely affluent catchment.
This is a clear opportunity for an existing operator to add a profitable rural pub to their portfolio. The large trading footprint, private dining/conference capability and substantial car parking are key value-drivers. Purchasers should review detailed P&L accounts, staff costs, and the tied agreement before proceeding.
