Believed to date back to the 1840s, The Rivermill is an attractive pub with a range of characterful trading areas including a welcoming main bar accommodating approximately 30 covers. The first floor features a dining space accommodating approximately 70 covers and benefits from its own dedicated bar servery, currently utilised as a cocktail bar, creating a versatile area suitable for dining, private functions and events.
Occupying a stunning riverside position on the banks of the River Great Ouse in St Neots, the property is also located under 20 miles from the proposed Universal United Kingdom Resort in Bedfordshire, a landmark leisure and tourism development expected to attract millions of visitors annually.
Externally, The Rivermill has an extensive decked terrace, enjoying superb views across the marina and creating attractive outdoor seating areas. These areas are complemented by a dedicated outdoor cooking station, offering potential for seasonal events and specialist food offerings.
The site also benefits from customer parking for approximately 15 vehicles as well as a one-bedroom flat located at first-floor level.
After opening the pub back in 2016, owners Doug and Collette Barnes, have decided to sell the business to focus on retirement and hand the reins over to a new operator.
They said, “Having no experience in the restaurant or pub world it has taken a while, and we have had to learn a great deal. Slowly we built an excellent team we can rely on. We keep to the simple idea of wanting Rivermill to be the best in the area, cooking fresh food every day and selling a really good quality range of drinks in a family and dog friendly environment."
Liana Gatier, Business Agent – Pubs & Restaurants at Christie & Co, who is managing the sale, commented, “Rivermill is a fantastic waterfront pub and restaurant that combines a thriving food-led business with a unique lifestyle opportunity. Its enviable riverside setting, versatile trading space and strong local reputation make it a highly attractive proposition for prospective purchasers.
“Demand remains strong for characterful pub businesses in destination locations, and we anticipate significant interest from operators looking to build on the excellent foundations established by the current owners.”
The Rivermill is on the market freehold with an asking price of £695,000.
