Wharf Tavern

2390 Stratford Road, Hockley Heath, West Midlands, B94 6QT

A TRADITIONAL COUNTRY INN

The Wharf Tavern located in the village of Hockley Heath is a traditional country inn with large garden and parking. There is a strong opportunity here for real ale and good quality pub food. We would expect to see the new partner create a compelling food and drink offer to appeal to drinkers and eaters alike. A quirky food offer that can do volume on busy summer days would be hugely beneficial due to the outstanding garden which lies next to the Canal. We will also be planning an investment scheme to improve the kerb appeal of the pub to help the new partner make an impact.

Location

Hockley Heath is situated on the busy A3400 which leads to Henley in Arden and Stratford, in the West Midlands. It is situated next to the Stratford Upon Avon Canal and is 5.5 miles from Solihull.
