The main sports bar and venue business generates between £8,500 and £11,000 per week depending on function room hire and events.

The property and business are being sold as a whole and represent tremendous value for money. Alternatively, the club stands on a site of approximately 0.4 of an acre, (1,630.32 sq m or 17,548.58 sq ft) and might therefore have some development potential (subject to planning). The building interior extends to circa 876 sq m over ground and first floors. The business is currently run entirely by staff as the owners live abroad, hence their desire to now sell the business and property. EPC Band C.
