PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

The property stands detached on the approach to a bridge over the Trent & Mersey Canal and is of washed brick construction under pitched slat roofs. Built when the canal was “cut” through in the 1700’s to quench the thirst of the “navies” employed in the work and to stable the horses that drew the boats. Enter by way of a vestibule from the gated yard into another world, a place where a quintessential British Pub is reflected in a wealth of low beamed ceilings to the “through” LOUNGE BAR ( 42+) which has a stripped timber floor with robust light wood tables and chairs along with some benching. A feature wood burning stove sits into the brick constructed fireplace providing more than adequate cosiness in the less clement months. A pub piano sits to one end and there is a range of uncluttered bric a brac adorning the walls. BAR SERVERY has a polished light wood counter top with a range of REAL ALE WICKETS and Bright beer pumps, the back fittings provide excellent merchandising for wines, spirits etc. BEER CELLAR is “roll in” to ground level and fully chilled. CATERING KITCHEN is well planned and equipped with a range of s/s fittings. The pub has achieved a 5 * rating by the LA Environmental Health officer for the past 3 years. TOILETS are from the walkway servicing both internal and external customers.
