Cogogo brings an exciting leasehold bar and restaurant opportunity in the heart of Rugeley town centre. The Tavern In The Town is a vibrant, contemporary venue known locally for its relaxed atmosphere, ever-changing food menu and lively social scene.
Established just five years ago, the business has quickly built a loyal following, supported by strong reviews and an active social media presence. This is a rare chance to acquire a fully refurbished, turnkey hospitality business that is ready to trade from day one.
The Tavern In The Town operates as a small, friendly bar and restaurant, offering a welcoming environment with a modern edge. A key highlight is the weekly changing food menu, keeping the concept fresh and encouraging repeat custom. The venue is equally popular for relaxed daytime drinks, evening dining and lively nights with live music and events.
There is clear scope for further growth by expanding opening hours, introducing themed nights or developing the food offering further.
With its strong reputation, modern fit-out and prime location, The Tavern In The Town represents a fantastic lifestyle and business opportunity Ideal for an enthusiastic owner-operator or an experienced hospitality buyer, this is a business with personality, potential and plenty of upside.
Location
Occupying a prime town centre position in Rugeley, the business benefits from excellent visibility and strong footfall. Surrounded by complementary businesses and amenities, the location attracts a broad customer base throughout the week, including local residents, evening diners and weekend social drinkers. Its central setting makes it a natural meeting spot and a go-to destination for food, drinks and entertainment.
Premises
The premises have been fully refurbished to an exceptional standard, creating a stylish yet comfortable space. The layout includes a fully functional bar with a dedicated cocktail station and a well-equipped commercial kitchen currently delivering a popular tapas-style menu. Additional features include comprehensive soundproofing, central heating, an integrated music system, CCTV and a fully alarmed setup. Importantly, the property is rate-free, significantly reducing ongoing overheads.
Tenure
We are advised that the business is offered on a leasehold basis. We are advised that the lease commenced in June 2023 and runs until May 2026, with a tenant break option available. The current passing rent is £800 per calendar month; however, we understand the landlady has indicated that this may increase under the terms of a new lease, potentially to around £1,000 per calendar month, as the rent has remained unchanged for approximately five years.
Hours
The venue trades during sociable daytime and evening hours, with flexibility to extend trading times to maximise revenue, particularly at weekends and during events.
Staff
The business is currently run with a small, manageable team, allowing it to operate efficiently while maintaining a high level of customer service. This makes the opportunity ideal for a hands-on operator or a buyer looking to place management in situ.
Financial Profile
We are advised that the business generates turnover in excess of £80,000 per annum
The operation benefits from low ongoing overheads, including rate-free premises and a competitive rent, helping to support overall profitability. Further financial information and a detailed breakdown of costs will be made available to genuinely interested parties following an initial enquiry.
