THE BUSINESS

The Castle Inn is the premium one of only two pubs in the popular village with many new housing estates. The owners enjoy a good relationship with the locals holding weekly Karaoke nights and hosting darts, pool and football teams. The business has been owned and managed by Mr & Mrs Davies (no staff employed) for 6 years but due to ill health are having to consider semi/retirement and other interests. We have accounts to y/e Aug’06 showing over £2000/week takings with y/e Aug’07 due shortly. The trade sales figures need to be considered as a ‘starting block’ upon which to build. A new owner possibly with culinary flare will have the ability to exploit the untapped lunchtime trade and further develop the popular evening trade.

Fleur De Lys is a pleasant and prosperous residential village with the Inn occupying a road side position overlooking the busy Victoria Road travelling from the local townships of Blackwood (3 miles) and Caerphilly (7 miles)
