For Sale: Shorwell's The Crown Inn Looking For New Landlord

A popular Shorwell pub has been put up for sale.

Current landlord of The Crown Inn, Mike Benwell, has decided now is the time to stop pulling pints there and focus on his portfolio of other pubs.

“The Crown Inn has always had a place in our hearts, Mike said.

"When we were growing up we always visited the Crown Inn with our parents, grandparents and great grandparents and have such great memories.”

He said COVID has influenced his decision to sell up:

“We decided to purchase the pub and in our first couple of years of ownership the pub was good to us.

"Unfortunately with Covid we have had to concentrate on our core pub portfolio so it's now time for someone else to take the pub on. The Crown Inn is a perfect business for any aspiring owner managers or is big enough to work as a managed house.”

 

The Crown Inn sits in Shorwell, five miles from Newport.

It is a late 18th century property, offering 80 internal covers and 100 external covers in the side garden. There are also two onsite car parks.

Leisure property specialists Fleurets are marketing the property's leasehold.

Those interested in taking over the pub can email Nick Earee on [email protected], or call 07836 541790.
