The Cleave

A rare opportunity to take the helm of one of Devon’s most glorious pubs will shortly become available, on lease/tenancy terms that are as attractive as the pub itself (repairs carried out by Heavitree, buildings insurance paid by Heavitree, tie limited to draught beer and cider only (loads of choice from different brewers), no rent indexation, security of tenure + business support from a very experienced local team).

The Cleave is a beautiful and stunning thatched pub dating back to the 15^th century and is situated in the heart of Lustleigh, a picture-postcard village inside the world-famous Dartmoor National Park; pub locations don’t come much better than this.

Boasting a cosy snug bar complete with a roaring log fire for the colder months, a spacious restaurant area with its own log fire, a separate dining area ideal for small functions, a delightful garden and its own car park, The Cleave can cater for up to 70 covers internally and up to 80 externally.

Applications are sought from experienced operators; whilst the pub’s stunning location drives significant trade, a proactive operator will market the pub to take advantage of a much wider audience resident in nearby towns and cities including Moretonhampstead, Bovey Tracey, Newton Abbot, Torquay and Exeter – this is a classic destination pub.

Rent – £45,000 pa. Ingoings to include purchase of current tenants’ fixtures and fittings, loose catering, stock, landlord deposit + working capital.

Interested? Please submit your application online for the attention of Hugh O’Rourke, Tenanted Operations Manager.
