Could you run this Cherhill pub?
The Black Horse is a charming, traditional Wiltshire village pub, now available and ready to welcome guests with its stylish beamed interior, expansive beer garden, front-of-pub seating, and generous car parking. Its prominent roadside position in Cherhill gives it excellent visibility. As a Cask Marque pub, it has the potential to become the beating heart of the local community and a popular destination for both residents and visitors from the wider area. The extensive outdoor space also offers great opportunities to maximise trade during the warmer months.
Inside, the Black Horse boasts an appealing and well-laid-out trading area. Upon entering, guests are welcomed by the main bar, which sits between a 40 cover restaurant space on one side and a cosy lounge bar on the other. Traditional beams, feature fireplaces, and warm décor create a welcoming and characterful atmosphere. The pub also includes a fully equipped catering kitchen, a designated smoking solution, and Wi-Fi.
