Run a much loved village pub in Impington known for its great food, outdoor drinking space and community feel
Pub and location
You’ll discover the Railway Vue on the roadside just off the main interchange in the village. It’ll be ideal for you if you are a community operator who loves to host functions.
Guests love the compact beer garden at the back and the large, decked area at the front that can accommodate up to eighty covers. Historically, Publicans have used a marquee on the decking area to host functions and year-round al fresco drinking.
The pub would benefit from a decent and consistent food offer, and someone who can network within the community will see the benefit of trade come to them. You’ll also be a sports enthusiast who can get locals involved in team competitions. You could even reconfigure the right-hand bar area to accommodate the pool table (currently in the lounge extension) and reposition the current darts board. The sports screens would also sit here.
The main lounge has a comfortable feel, complementing a food offer.
Histon is steeped in history dating back to the Iron Age and is an easy commute to and from Cambridge city centre. The village is a classic leafy suburb and is a highly desirable postcode.
Recent Investment
Now is an excellent time to take over as we have completed a large scale investment. The pub is fully decorated inside and out, New high tec and comms kit for sports viewing and music, an extended kitchen to meet demand and a new main garden area which is beautiful, especially when the sun is shining
Ideal Publican
The new operator must deliver a quality venue with an irresistible food offer, quality cask and mixer drinks and a family-friendly sports offer. You’ll have the energy and vision needed to maximise the potential within the demise of the premises and return the pub to its former glory.
Accommodation
The living accommodation consists of 4 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen & bathroom
