The pub formerly operated as a well-known and popular café-restaurant, with five en suite letting bedrooms, and has been vacant since the previous operators’ lease expired.
The pub has been purchased by a local entrepreneur, who plans to invest in and refurbish the premises. They are teaming up with the former General Manager of The Dirty Bottles in Alnwick and aim to reestablish the Farriers as a welcoming community local, with a well thought out food offering.
David Cash, Regional Director – Pubs & Restaurants at Christie & Co managed the sale and said, “I’ve had the pleasure of selling many freehold pubs in Northumberland over the years, and the first time I visited the Farriers, I was confident it would be popular. It has huge potential and a loyal following of local customers, and certainly plenty of life as a pub-restaurant, so we are pleased to see this premises sold for continued use. We look forward to seeing it flourish again under new direction.”
The Farriers was marketed with an asking price of £375,000 and sold for an undisclosed sum.
