The Opportunity
The vendor has owned and run the Craven Arms since since late 2004 and the business was closed in 2022 in the face of the spiralling energy costs prevalent at that time. Historically, the pub has traded as a local drinking spot for the village with a strong food offer which appealed to both the locals and customers from further afield. There is an opportunity for a new operator to re-stablish the business along similar lines and to maximise the occupancy rate of the letting rooms in this almost perfect Cotswolds location.Staff
