Fountain Inn

The Fountain Inn is positioned on Slad Road just a quarter of a mile from the bustling Stroud town centre. It is surrounded by local housing and easy to get to by car or public transport and is walkable from the town centre.

Pub Layout

The Fountain Inn sits upon a small crossroads and benefits from having a lovely garden and a smoking shelter to the front of the property. The pub is essentially a single bar operation that has a separate games area to one side with around 50 covers overall in the main bar area. There is a good-sized catering kitchen and a ground floor cellar.

This is a very warm and welcoming traditional community pub that has a good local reputation. Being the centre of the local community will be the key to running a successful business at the Fountain and there is scope to really drive a strong traditional food trade and entertainment as well.

Private Accommodation

The living accommodation at the Fountain is well appointed and benefits from having three good-sized bedrooms and separate living room and kitchen as well as a good-sized bathroom and an office.

The Fountain Inn would suit a strong experienced operator or couple who have a clear understanding of a pub that should sit right at the heart of the community.

An operator who can flex to the needs of the community through offering traditional home cooked pub grub, pub games, entertainment coupled with serving excellent real ales will see this site’s fortunes grow. It will also be crucial that the new operator always ensures that great service and value are at the very heart of everything that they do.
