Bunbury Arms
Little Stanney Lane, Stoak, Chester, Cheshire, CH2 4HW
A QUINTESSENTIAL ENGLISH COUNTRY PUB
The Bunbury Arms in the Cheshire village of Stoak, is a lovely country pub, known for great ale and food. Currently trading at an even sales split of 50/50 the pub offers the opportunity to develop a good quality home cooked food offer, with a strong wet trade to support. The large beer garden is a real benefit during the warmer months as it can be used to drive volume via outdoor entertainment and events. This well presented pub should attract local villagers looking for a drink or meal and those from further afield looking for a nice spot for a good quality meal out.

I am looking for an operator to develop this quintessential country pub known for great ale, friendly service and good quality food. This person or couple should be keen to become a member of the community and building a solid reputation locally for great service and known for creating great guest experiences. Experience of running your own pub is ideally what I am looking and you'll also need to be proficient with food. However, a first time operator with a great support network and transferable skills would be considered.
