Trading Area & Facilities

The Goats Head has a two-room set up which includes a dining area and a separate bar. Each section has a bar servery area and a traditional aesthetic with exposed beam ceilings and brickwork walls. The catering facilities are to a high standard which will allow an operator to implement a good food offer.

Externally, the pub has a concrete patio with benched seating. This part of the pub is hidden away from the main road, so it offers customers the perfect space to enjoy a drink outdoors in the warmer months of the year. There is also a grass lawn which allows space for additional seating or possibly for events.

There are also outbuildings to the rear patio area of the pub that could be utilised in the future. An outside toilet serves the garden.

Private Accommodation

The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, living room, office, kitchen and bathroom. In line with our Ready to Trade Promise, we will ensure the private accommodation is in good condition so that you can focus on your business.
