Bird In Hand

The Bird in Hand provides for 50 internal covers at ground floor and is open 7 days a week. On the first floor is a large room currently a pool and snooker room but was previously additional restaurant seating. The kitchen area comprises the main kitchen (5m x 3,2m to include a small inner lobby) with commercial equipment to include 6 ring gas range with grill over, twin deep fat fryer, twin sinks and separate hand wash and extraction. In addition there is a store room (3.1m x 3.2m) with dishwasher, store (3.3m x 2.4m) with fridges/freezers, office (3.7m x 2.2m) and shower room WC. Externally there is an attractive trade garden which can accommodate 7x 6 seater benches on the patio, with space for a further 19 benches within the adjoining lawned area which borders the large car park. The kitchen has been open during sessions 6 days a week
and there is opportunity to extend the opening periods, particularly during the warmer months and for events. The owners have invested in the outside food bar for 2023 and this provides an excellent location to attract Summer diners for easy service takeaway along the traditional bar food offer. Pending the success of the new caterer, the owners have future plans for improvements that may suit all parties. Further details of the pub are available via their website: https://birdinhandhayle.co.uk/.

The Opportunity:
The Bird In Hand is a busy pub with a good reputation and provides for a loyal local trade, supported by local pool teams and quiz evenings alongside live sports to enjoy, regular music events and other events such as classic car rallies. The owners have let out their
restaurant operation for many years and the opportunity for new operators is now available. The owners are keen for the new caterers to build on the existing reputation and grow the business to take full advantage that the site offers (our clients would consider takeaway food subject to them dealing with all payments in the first instant). There is a great opportunity to further promote the outside food concession at the venue, which has been underutilised, given the extensive beer garden and events that take place therein. The owners are keen to hear from existing catering operators and chefs who are looking to establish a mutually beneficial business to build upon. The rent is taken from food sales (net of VAT), all of
which are handled directly by the owners and balanced up once a week. The caterer is responsible for food purchasing (including supplying a food waste bin), EHO compliance and any associated staff costs to their business.
