Wheatsheaf
West Perry, Perry, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, PE28 0BX
A STUNNING DESTINATION FOOD PUB.
The Wheatsheaf at Perry is a destination food pub, located on the edges of Graffham Water. The site is 75% food led and has some elements of seasonal trade. The new operator needs to retain the current trade, although we expect that some goodwill will be lost when the current operator leaves and the new operator needs to capitalise on this. There is also the opportunity to increase the range profile on the bar. The pub is a medium sized traditional style building with parking for 20 cars and a decent pub garden overlooking fields to the rear. The externals of the business requires investment which Greene King will be considering.

The new operator here will need to be an experienced food professional, ideally someone with local knowledge or experience of capitalising on tourist attractions. This is a high food volume site and would also suit a multiple operator. The pub has an enviable position close to Grafham Water and has been well maintained internally.
