Could you run this Somerset pub?

The King Alfred, located in the heart of Street, is a charming pub with letting rooms, named in honour of the famed King Alfred, whose legacy is deeply rooted in Somerset’s history. This friendly and inviting venue enjoys an excellent local reputation for its freshly prepared food, fine wines, well-kept cask ales, and comfortable accommodation. With three guest rooms available, it’s an ideal base for visitors looking to explore both the local area and the wider Somerset countryside.

The pub offers the warm atmosphere of a true community hub while also benefiting from its position close to the town centre, giving it strong potential to attract customers from the busy local circuit.

The main bar sits at the front of the building, providing a cosy and welcoming focal point. To the rear, the restaurant offers seating for up to 90 covers, making it well suited for both everyday dining and larger gatherings. Additional facilities include a private function room, a pleasant beer garden, and parking for up to 20 cars. Guests and customers also benefit from Wi-Fi throughout the premises.
