“I am looking for a proven village pub operator who ensures great hospitality is at the heart of everything they do. Applicants should be able and willing to put themselves at the heart of the local community and to seek new and innovative ways to develop a traditional business. The new Business Partner must be prepared to pursue a diverse offer and to include the development of food trade.

This pub may suit a family or couple with experience in delivering great home cooked food.”

Peter Hurdle

Associate Business Development Partner, South East Region

Location

Littlewick Green
Asset 2

The Cricketers is located in the charming village of Littlewick Green, just off the main A4 between Maidenhead and Twyford in Berkshire. The pub benefits from an affluent locality and is in a beautiful location overlooking the village cricket ground.

The M4 and M40 motorways are both within a 10 minute drive and Reading can be reached in approximately 15 minutes. The current guest base is typically within a 20 minute drive and as far as the nearby town of Henley in neighbouring Oxfordshire.

About The Pub to Rent
Asset 2

The Cricketers is a quintessential village pub in the idyllic village of Littlewick Green, and adjacent to the village green and cricket club, which has featured in episodes of Midsomer Murders. This is both a destination and a local pub with two distinct internal trading areas of bar and restaurant. There are external covers in the outdoor seating area to the front, and there is a small car park to the side.

The Cricketers appeals to local guests and to visitors as a charming destination pub. It has a great reputation for good home cooked food, warm and friendly service and great hospitality.

Asset 2

The Cricketers appeals to local guests and visitors as a charming destination pub. It has a great reputation for good quality home-cooked food, warm and friendly service and excellent hospitality. Currently the guest base is drawn from up to 20 minutes drive time away and as far as the nearby town of Henley in neighbouring Oxfordshire.

The pub has the added attraction of being next to the village cricket green which is well used during the summer months and brings real benefits, particularly as the Cricketers is the only pub in the village.

Misrepresentation

* Fair Maintainable Trade (FMT):

FMT is the level of turnover and profit that we believe that the business is capable of delivering if being operated competently. The FMT is usually calculated by the Business Development Partner for the pub to rent, who will produce a shadow profit and loss account for the business which supports the rent. A copy of the shadow profit and loss account will be provided during the recruitment process.

Code of Practice:

Please see our Code of Practice for more information on FMT and rent. The Fair Maintainable Trade is not a guarantee of levels of trade or profit that will be made from the business – we strongly recommend you seek appropriate independent legal and business advice as part of your Business Plan.

† The Full Investment Breakdown:

The Full Investment Breakdown for each public house is higher than the minimum investment we will accept. This is because potential Business Partners with the minimum investment available can still be accepted as we are able to offer them financial support for the rest of the monies.

Working Capital:

The working capital incorporates the purchase of stock, glassware, loose catering effects and valuer fees – please note the number quoted on this website are based on estimates. The exact costs will be determined on the day you take on the public house by independent valuers and stock takers. Please see our Code of Practice for more information about investment.
