Our clients opened the premises as Froth & Flame in 2019, centred around a Woodfired food and beer offering. The business trades with an excellent menu offering a tasty wood fired meat and pizza offering as well as some of the best locally sourced craft beers and ales.

The business is currently run under management but would certainly suit a more hands on and direct management approach. The business trades well but there is significant turnover development for new operators.

At present the business is open 5 days a week (closed Sunday & Monday). The generous nature of the premises licence would not preclude more extensive opening times to take full advantage of the licensing hours permitted.
