Old Inn, Swansea - Swansea

RUN THE OLD INN, PENLLERGAER

Community Food Partnership opportunity

Overview: The Old Inn is an established food-led community pub in the heart of Penllergaer, close to Swansea, Gorseinon and Junction 47 of the M4. Known for its food offer, welcoming atmosphere and strong local following, it attracts local residents, families, walkers, dog owners and visitors to the nearby Penllergaer Valley Woods. With weekly sales of around £10,000 and a 40% wet / 60% food sales mix, this is a strong opportunity for the right operator to build on an established business.

The business: The pub offers an open-plan trading area with cosy snug spaces, a well-equipped ground-floor kitchen and a small function room for private events and community groups. Outside, there is an attractive beer garden and large customer car park. Key strengths include its established food trade, strong community following and location close to Swansea, the M4 and Penllergaer Valley Woods.

The opportunity: With future layout improvements planned, the next operator can build on the Old Inn’s established trade and develop it as a go-to destination for quality, good-value food, drinks and community occasions. The strongest growth priorities are creating a clear and consistent food identity, maximising the pub’s function and community potential and continuing to attract both local guests and visitors to the area.

Who we’re looking for: We’re looking for a food-focused community operator, couple or team with strong hospitality experience, commercial confidence and a genuine passion for great food and guest experience. You’ll be comfortable running a busy food-led operation while building strong relationships with local residents, groups and businesses.

What’s in it for you? 26% share of weekly sales excluding VAT, plus a guaranteed annual retained sum of £35,000, released weekly. There are also incentive bonuses based on business performance and standard audits. Low ingoing costs start with a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal cost. Accommodation is included, with most bills covered except council tax and TV Licence.
