Pub Layout

The Whale has recently undergone a significant investment, delivering a fresh, modern feel both internally and externally. The pub now features contemporary décor throughout, creating a bright and welcoming environment for all guests. The trading area is open-plan and well laid out, offering a spacious feel. Upon entering, customers step down into a lower-level seating area before moving up to a raised section at the rear, providing a varied and dynamic layout across the venue. The bar is prominently positioned on the left-hand side, acting as a central focal point. Several TVs are positioned throughout the pub, making it well suited for live sport and enhancing the atmosphere on busy match days. Customer toilets are located at the rear of the pub, ensuring convenient access while keeping the main trading areas open and uncluttered.

The Whale is a proper community pub with live sport and regular entertainment such as karaoke, live music, and quiz nights, offering huge potential for growth and an exciting opportunity for a new operator, where a focused strategy on marketing, infrastructure, and expanded entertainment can build on its existing strengths to increase wet trade, attract and retain a diverse and loyal customer base, and establish the pub as a standout destination in the area.
