Regional Manager's Thoughts

Great quality pub food is the way forward for this pub. This is a fabulous opportunity for a newcomer to the trade to develop a busy wet-led pub by focusing on the food offer. Baughurst is an affluent village and the pub has tremendous kerb appeal. There is definite scope to make best use of the garden space for family-focused events and to become the hub of the community.
