The Bull Hotel is a grade 2 listed pub in the village of Downton which is a 10/15 min drive outside of Salisbury and also not far from Southampton, Ringwood and the New Forest.
The pub has 4 letting rooms along with the main bar area, a big car park and a really nice beer garden area which includes some covered areas. It is a warm and traditional looking pub with a darts/pool area at the front of the pub along with seating available for those wanting to eat. The customer base is a real mix of locals from the village along with tourists coming to stay when visiting Salisbury nearby etc.
There is a lot of scope for sales growth at the pub, through putting on Live Entertainment at weekends or building on the current success of Carveries at the pub on Sundays. There is also a great beer garden with the potential to hold family days and BBQs etc.
The pub has a great reputation with really high guest feedback scores and is popular with guests. This agreement allows the operator to implement their own food offer which means that the right person can be quite creative with what they offer food wise.
The ideal operator would have some food experience and be comfortable with creating their own menu. We would also be looking for a strong wet operator who knows how to drive sales and is keen to put on events to give lots of reasons to visit the pub. Some experience with rooms would be ideal as well.
The accommodation comprises of 1 bedroom, along with lounge area, kitchen and bathroom.
