THE OPPORTUNITY

Name: The Pump House

Location: Wellington, Somerset, TA21 0AJ

Type: Restaurant & Events Business

The business is a tucked away restaurant and events space, located on the outskirts of Wellington, Somerset. This unique business is a popular alternative to a traditional bar and restaurant, offering a high quality and beautiful alternative locations for weddings/events, for group activities or celebrations and has seen consistent success from group bookings such as stag/hen doo’s, birthday parties, corporate events and weddings.

The business operates a restaurant service with opening hours published on their website and social media pages with table booking and private hire booking options available on the website. The business is made available so our vendor can focus on unrelated business ventures.

THE VENUE

The venue offers an immersive experience with indoor seating for 120 covers including the external courtyard. The property has been lovingly restored over the years by the current vendor using upcycled and recycled materials to give an authentic and sustainable vibe to the space. The décor complements the business's branding and is completed to an exacting standard. The venue has been extensively refurbished, requiring no further investment to continue trading.

The comprehensive bar serves cocktails, beer, wines, and draught drinks, and the venue offers both hot and cold food, adding another lucrative revenue stream. The events space includes various furniture and seating layout options for all types of events.

The business is overseen by the owners with a previous team of staff; however, the venue has now been closed as our vendor has had to return home abroad, therefore this presents a turnkey opportunity for an incoming operator. There is an opportunity to hire a full-time manager for a hands-off operator.
