Now is an excellent time to take the reins of this pub in the heart of Newton, just outside Shrewsbury, as we have a full internal decoration and replacement of fixtures and fittings planned to give it a fresh look.

Pub and location

You’ll discover the Admiral Duncan, a characterful village pub in the heart of Newtown, just outside of Shrewsbury.

It serves locals well as a community hub, for school pickups, quiz nights, charity events and live music, alongside popular games of pool and darts in the bar area. The ideal Publican will capitalise on the rhythms of the week at this pub and explore fresh entertainment options to drive new footfall.

The food offer has comprised an Indian-themed menu and take-way to date, served in the lounge area in the evening and weekends. Our proposed vision for the venue would be to upgrade the décor and fixtures and fittings with warm open fires and relaxing lounge area to make it an upmarket destination and traditional pub. The ideal Publicans will have their own vision for the delectable menu and character of this established and popular pub venue.

You’ll be taking the reins of a pub with two spacious guest areas, one side the bar area and the other the lounge that encapsulates a central fireplace.

At the back of the pub, you’ll discover a dining area for approximately fifteen people that looks out over the garden area and leads into the commercial kitchen. The spacious garden provides an opportunity for a Publican with vision, and the car park houses thirty-five cars.

Ideal Publican

We’re seeking a practical duo experienced at running a traditional, community pub. The Admiral Duncan provides an ideal opportunity for you if you have a home-cooked food background.

The ideal Publicans will love people. You’ll know where your guests like to sit, what they like to eat and drink, and you’ll be ready with the banter and smiles for those who are there to chat.

The ideal publicans will also have their own entrepreneurial vision for the pub crafting an enticing rhythm of the week that’s sure to drive new footfall. To make this business a success, you will also need experience of marketing your business effectively using digital and social media channels. You’ll know how to make your pub the go-to venue in the area.

Accommodation

This business opportunity comes with three bedrooms.
