RUN THE GRAPES INN, GREAT HABTON, NORTH YORKSHIRE
Tenancy Agreement
Overview
The Grapes Inn is a charming traditional village pub located in Great Habton, ideally positioned between the thriving market towns of Malton and Pickering. With a loyal local customer base, an established food reputation and the North York Moors on its doorstep, this is an exciting opportunity to take on a well-loved pub in one of Yorkshire's most desirable rural locations.
Offering a fantastic balance of local village trade and destination visitors, The Grapes Inn presents a great opportunity for an operator looking to run their own pub business in an attractive countryside setting.
The Business
The Grapes Inn is a characterful and welcoming pub offering around 30 dining covers, a separate snug bar popular with local residents, a beer garden and a rear customer car park.
Its manageable size makes it particularly well suited to hands-on operators who want to be actively involved in all aspects of the business while building a sustainable and rewarding pub operation.
Currently trading at approximately £4,000 per week, the pub already benefits from a strong food offer and loyal customer base. The business has built a reputation for quality hospitality and is well positioned to attract both local guests and visitors exploring the surrounding North Yorkshire countryside.
The Opportunity
This is an exciting pub tenancy opportunity to take control of an established village pub and shape its future. The next tenant will have the freedom to develop their own menus, respond to local demand and build on the pub's existing strengths while bringing their own ideas and personality to the business.
Key opportunities include growing destination dining appeal, strengthening community engagement, increasing frequency of visit and further developing the pub's reputation as a welcoming food-led village pub. With Yorkshire's renowned food scene and the North York Moors nearby, there is clear scope to attract additional visitors while maintaining strong local support.
For the right candidate or operating team, reduced ingoing costs or tailored support may also be considered.
