“This pub requires applicants who have a strong background in catering, and who will be able to build on the established reputation of the business and drive growth. It will require some continuity and a good sense of community to maintain the feel of the pub and its position in the village.

Ideally we’re looking for a Business Partner who will grow turnover and keep a tight control of costs in order to convert top line figures into bottom line growth.

The Cock Inn is ideally suited to a couple, one of whom has experience of running a busy kitchen.”

Peter Hurdle

Associate Business Development Partner, South East Region

Location

Sarratt
Asset 2

The Cock Inn is located in the picturesque village of Sarratt. Sarratt is in the Three Rivers District of Hertfordshire and has been used as a location for a number of television and film productions, including Four Weddings and a Funeral at the church opposite and Midsomer Murders. It is 4 miles north of its nearest town, Rickmansworth, and approximately 2 miles from J18 of the M25 on the Chorleywood Road.

This historic village sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by rolling fields and the enchanting Chess Valley riverbed. Sarratt is loved by its residents and visitors due to its beautiful landscapes and idyllic walking, cycling and horse riding routes across some 30 miles of footpaths. Besides the Cock Inn, Sarratt benefits from excellent transport routes and a community shop, Post Office, primary school, church and doctors surgery.

Misrepresentation

* Fair Maintainable Trade (FMT):

FMT is the level of turnover and profit that we believe that the business is capable of delivering if being operated competently. The FMT is usually calculated by the Business Development Partner for the pub to rent, who will produce a shadow profit and loss account for the business which supports the rent. A copy of the shadow profit and loss account will be provided during the recruitment process.

Code of Practice:

Please see our Code of Practice for more information on FMT and rent. The Fair Maintainable Trade is not a guarantee of levels of trade or profit that will be made from the business – we strongly recommend you seek appropriate independent legal and business advice as part of your Business Plan.

† The Full Investment Breakdown:

The Full Investment Breakdown for each public house is higher than the minimum investment we will accept. This is because potential Business Partners with the minimum investment available can still be accepted as we are able to offer them financial support for the rest of the monies.

Working Capital:

The working capital incorporates the purchase of stock, glassware, loose catering effects and valuer fees – please note the number quoted on this website are based on estimates. The exact costs will be determined on the day you take on the public house by independent valuers and stock takers. Please see our Code of Practice for more information about investment.
