Royal Oak
13 Crown Street, St Ives, Cambridgeshire, PE27 5EB
REFURBISHMENT PLANNED
The Royal Oak in St Ives offers a great opportunity to revitalise this town centre pub. The site is currently trading at 100% wet sales and attracting only the local drinkers, however our refurbishment plans will create an all day appeal to the existing customer base, shoppers, tourists and students alike. The refurbishment will create a relaxed atmosphere, interspersed with the smells of fresh coffee, hot food and real ale. This will re position the site to an offer featuring pizza (from purpose built pizza oven) and simple sandwiches, grills and cakes, alongside a strong range of drinks. We envisage the site becoming a true centre of the local community.
