This delightful traditional coaching inn is brimming with character and history, situated right in the centre of the idyllic market town of Mere. The oldest pub in the town, The George Inn is a landmark building with over 400 years of history and the potential to become a thriving hub once again. Local records even note that King Charles II stayed here in 1651 while fleeing after the Battle of Worcester. Today, the pub retains its rustic character with cosy seating, relaxed dining areas, and an impressive log fire.
With its enviable location, eight guest bedrooms, and planned investment from Hall & Woodhouse, The George Inn has all the ingredients to be a thriving and profitable business once again.
The George Inn is a multi-faceted site with the facilities to support a diverse and successful business.
• 8 well-appointed en-suite guest bedrooms
• Two main dining areas plus a separate room suitable for private dining, meetings, or functions (up to 24 covers)
• A characterful locals’ bar, with flagstone floors and a traditional open fire
• Meeting and function room
• An outside seating area and on-site car parking
• 1 large bedroom flat for private accommodation
Hall & Woodhouse are planning an investment programme to enhance the outdoor trading space, including creating a more welcoming garden and adding a new section on currently unused land. This will increase capacity to 72 outdoor covers and create an attractive space for both locals and visitors.
We are seeking an experienced and entrepreneurial operator with the ambition to relaunch and grow this historic inn.
The right partner will:
• Have a proven track record in food-led hospitality, developing a high-quality, accessible offer for locals and tourists.
• Be able to position the pub as both a destination inn and a community hub, ensuring year-round trade.
• Show creativity in marketing and events, capitalising on the area’s heritage, tourism, and local traditions.
• Bring strong leadership and operational skills, building a team that delivers excellent service every time.
Could this be the pub for you?
