The Turks Head occupies a prominent trading position on the main road running through the town of Rothbury, Northumberland. The premises benefit from ample on-street parking and are surrounded by a variety of complementary shops and businesses. The pub is situated on High Street in the centre of the town and is close to the local amenities. The town is very popular with tourists and walkers as it lies on the river Coquet and is close to the Simonside Hills and Northumberland National Park. The business boasts easy access to A697 and the A1, which leads to Edinburgh and Newcastle upon Tyne, which is approximately 26 miles away.

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular public house and restaurant, which has been in our client’s careful hands since 2004. The pub is only now offered to the market due to our client’s wish to relocate. The business trades 7 days a week generating a turnover in the region of £180,000 per annum and has a wet/dry split of 65/35. The pub offers a wide variety of beer and ales, along with serving a traditional pub menu on Fridays and Saturdays. We feel the turnover could be increased by extending the opening hours of the restaurant. There is also the opportunity to establish pool and darts teams. The business benefits from a loyal customer base and enjoys a high amount of passing trade from the cattle market. The premises boast a spacious bar with 10 points of dispense, large restaurant, pool and darts area, commercial kitchen and a beer garden to the rear. There is an owner’s appartment to the 1st floor comprising lounge, double bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, along with 2 x double letting rooms, with en-suite facilities, which are currently not being let. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already popular public house and restaurant with scope for future development. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
