The area

It lies on the edge of Thornaby but only a stroll away from Stockton town centre. Stockton town centre is due to have a £40m face lift to create a new Urban Park. The surrounding area boasts a high volume of potential customers, with 11,000 adults living within a 20-minute walk of the pub.

3. Coffee and Wi-Fi will be a lucrative way to entice customers throughout the day.
