Slyne Lodge
The Slyne Lodge, Lancaster
Once a 19th Century hunting lodge, The Slyne Lodge is a substantial detached pub situated on the main road between Lancaster and Carnforth, benefitting from excellent motorway access and a prominent roadside location.
Located in the affluent village of Slyne-with-Hest, just three miles north of Lancaster, the pub enjoys strong year-round trade from both locals and visitors. The business has recently benefited from investment and offers an excellent opportunity to take on a thriving pub with multiple income streams and strong trading performance.
Currently generating around £15,000 per week, with a sales mix of approximately 50% wet, 30% food and 20% letting rooms, the business features:
Approximately 60 dining covers
10 on-site letting rooms
A function room for up to 100 guests
A spacious terrace with stunning sea views
Strong food, accommodation and event trade
The current operators have built a successful business with a strong reputation, providing an excellent platform for an ambitious operator to continue its success.
We're looking for an experienced operator with a proven track record in running a quality food-led pub. Experience of managing letting rooms would be advantageous, alongside an understanding of social media and online booking platforms such as Booking.com.
Local knowledge isn't essential. More important is the drive to grow sales, maximise the pub's potential and deliver an exceptional experience for every guest.
Private Accommodation
The private accommodation includes:
A three-bedroom family flat with living room, kitchen and bathroom
There is also one other self contained flat with a kitchenette and bathroom
With strong existing trade, recent investment, letting rooms, function business and a desirable location close to the Lancashire coast, The Slyne Lodge offers an outstanding opportunity for an experienced operator looking to take on a well-established and profitable business.
