Could you run this Shortlanesend pub?
Now is an excellent time to take over the Old Plough, as we’re about to refresh the trading area with new upholstery seating, wood panelling, new style wall lighting, new external signage and improvements to the lower garden area.
The pub and its location
Nestled in the charming village of Shortlanesend, just a stone’s throw from Truro, The Old Plough is a beloved local hub ready for a new chapter. This well-regarded pub is a haven for those seeking a warm, welcoming atmosphere, hearty food, and a touch of traditional charm. If you’re seeking a pub that feels like home, choose the Old Plough.
Situated in a tranquil village only a short drive from the vibrant city of Truro, The Old Plough offers the best of both worlds. With ample parking and proximity to the A30, it’s a convenient stop for locals and visitors.
The pub blends a warm, contemporary feel with its traditional roots. The large open-plan trade area includes a cosy restaurant with a log burner, perfect for chilly evenings. The main bar is centrally located, with a dedicated pool area for those who enjoy a friendly game.
Guests enjoy the best Cornish weather in the pub’s garden and sundeck with covered dining pods for all-year-round comfort. The pub features a large car park, outdoor seating, and wheelchair access, ensuring everyone can join the fun.
The Old Plough is a welcoming spot for all, with highchairs available and a dog-friendly policy that makes it a favourite among pet owners. With a strong community presence, the pub is a hub for local events and gatherings, from summer fetes to Christmas markets.
The savvy operator will take advantage of the pub’s proximity to tourist attractions like Penrose Water Gardens (two miles), Llama Lland (In Shortlanesend), Truro City Centre (three miles), Perranporth Beach (nine miles), and Holywell Bay (11 miles).
