Pub Overview
Enjoying a prime location in the heart of affluent Ampthill, the Prince of Wales is a beautiful red brick town inn with an enduring reputation for great hospitality. Between its welcoming traditional interior and extensive two-tier garden, the pub accommodates up to 70 diners, with five individually designed en-suite rooms adding to its earning potential.
The Prince of Wales enjoys considerable footfall as a key landmark on Ampthill’s busy high street, bolstered by a large supermarket adjacent to the pub. Furthermore, with easy access to the M1 and the population of Bedford & Milton Keynes just a short drive away, there exists considerable potential to build on the site’s already strong reputation as a destination dining venue.
The Prince of Wales has the potential to reach a fair maintainable turnover of £411,206 net per annum with a 33/50/17 spilt wet/dry/accommodation while sustaining a £35,000 rent.
Suitable Applicants
The Prince of Wales has much to offer operators with the background and vision to take full advantage of its strong reputation, great location and inviting look and feel. Experience of operating letting rooms and a busy food-led business is essential, while the skillset to develop and market bespoke lunch and evening menus will create new opportunities for the business. Strong commercial and financial skills are required, complemented by a passion for providing fantastic hospitality.
