THE BUSINESS
The Mariners Arms is a very popular free of tie village pub/restaurant which is well presented and offers impressive trading areas The "Mariners" (as it is known locally) is a strong focal part of the village and the community. Our clients bought the pub in 2008 and have invested much time, money and effort during those 14 years into this deceptively spacious, Tardis like premises which is now presented and equipped to a high standard throughout. The business benefits from strong levels of regular, year-round trade, not only from the village, but also the surrounding hamlets, villages & towns. There is also a welcomed, year-round, tourist trade. The pub is home to three skittle teams, three darts teams and a pool team. Our clients are selling the business to retire having, in recent years, worked themselves on a part time basis, ably assisted by a management team which includes two full time members of staff & part timers when required. The sale now of The Mariners Arms offers the opportunity to acquire an attractive, well regarded, licensed business with great potential and without doubt located in a very special place to live and work. A formal viewing is essential in order to appreciate all that this quality business has to offer.
