The pub is very much a drive to the venue, with aspirational attributes to attract customers from the large population surrounding its elevated position. All of the major local conurbations are within proximity and its rural position makes it very much a destination in the better weather. The ideal publican will have a clear understanding of the local market and knowledge of wines and cask-conditioned beers. Marketing and promotion of the business is paramount, along with social media to drive the business forward. Private Accommodation Domestic accommodation to the first floor with 4 bedrooms (1 single and 3 doubles), lounge, kitchen and family bathroom in excellent decorative order.  Regional Manager's Thoughts This pub restaurant would make a great opportunity for an experienced operator who is looking to get into a food-driven, destination business where they can also make the locals feel welome for a drink. Menus for all occasions, whether it's bar snacks or Sunday lunch would go well, plus the opportunity to use the space for functions. This would make for a great single pub business, or a mutiple operator who knows the Yorkshire region. Surrounding Area The pub is located in a semi-rural area, high above the Bronte birthplace village of Thornton with fantastic views across the Yorkshire Pennines. The proximity of the nearby A644 and A629 allows for easy access from the surrounding towns which include, Halifax, Bradford, Keighley, Howarth and Huddersfield.
