Trade
Asset 2

Currently the Hornbrook Inn is trading under Hall & Woodhouse’s Managed House division. Average sales are circa. £22k per week with a busy bar and strong food trade attracting local and destination diners.

“This unique business requires an experienced operator with a proven track record in food led operations. You will understand how to balance a busy bar with quality dining, keep standards consistently high and to spot opportunities to grow sales. The successful operators will need to be innovative natural leaders with the ability to motivate, inspire and connect with people.

The Hornbrook is a well-respected food led business with deep roots in its community while also attracting destination trade, so to unleash the full  potential you will need to be equally adept at building and maintaining both”

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.

****Business Rates Payable:

This figure reflects the current multipliers for 2025/2026 and the 40% hospitality relief, effective until 31/03/2026.
