Offering around 240 covers across a variety of well-configured trading areas, the food-led venue is centred around a main bar servery with multiple seating zones suitable for both drinking and dining occasions.
Positioned in a prominent roadside location near the Aycliffe Business Park, The Gretna Green benefits from strong visibility and accessibility as well as consistent demand from workers, residents and visitors.
A key feature of the business, which is popular with families, is its Wacky Warehouse indoor play area and dedicated children’s play facilities. The site also features a large south-facing beer garden, on-site customer parking and accommodation, including a manager’s flat and five former letting rooms.
Marslie McGregor, Senior Business Agent – Pubs & Restaurants at Christie & Co, who is managing the sale process, commented, “The Gretna Green is a fantastic example of a large, well-positioned roadside pub with multiple revenue streams already in place.
“Its strong food-led performance, family-friendly offering, and proximity to key demand drivers such as the Premier Inn and Aycliffe Business Park make it a highly attractive proposition. With further potential to reinstate the letting accommodation, this is an excellent opportunity for an experienced operator to take the business to the next level.”
The Gretna Green is on the market freehold with an asking price of £1,300,000.
