Commercial

The Commercial (to be renamed The Miners Rest), is a well‑zoned community pub in the affluent Swansea suburb of Killay.

It features a central bar, a sports area, a bright dining space looking onto large gardens, a side patio and good customer parking, serving a mixed local demographic with a genuine community feel. A transformational refurbishment will refresh the exterior and interior, remove the outdated smoking shelter, improve zoning and sport viewing, and create a more comfortable dining area for all guests. One pool table will remain, darts will be added, and the décor, signage, lighting, planting and outdoor areas will all be upgraded. The investment includes an enlarged front patio and improvements to the large covered pergola, with the pub re‑named The Miners Rest to reflect local heritage. This opportunity suits an experienced couple with strong kitchen and front‑of‑house skills who can drive community engagement and understand the local area. The pub will trade under the Hive Plus franchise format, offering a modern, community‑focused approach supported by a refreshed menu, clear marketing plans and a design that champions outdoor space, live entertainment and social sport.

Trading space The refurbished trade area will feel significantly more modern and welcoming. The bar remains the central focal point, with improved zoning designed to enhance the flow of the pub and create a much better sport‑viewing experience. One side of the pub will continue to house the sports area, but with updated TV positioning and the introduction of darts alongside the retained pool table to create a livelier, more social environment. The dining space will become brighter and more comfortable, benefitting from clearer separation from the high‑energy sports side. A lower‑level dining area will be created specifically to ensure older customers have a calm, relaxed space. Large windows overlooking the garden will continue to give the restaurant side an open, spacious feel. First impressions at the entrance will be transformed by removing the outdated smoking shelter and refreshing the décor, signage and lighting throughout. Improved zoning will allow better navigation through the pub, with a more coherent link between the bar, dining and sports areas. The outdoor trade space will be a standout feature. The front patio will be enlarged, the rear pergola enhanced, and the overall garden space uplifted with planting and high‑impact design to support Hive’s “Always Outside” ethos. The upgraded garden and patio areas will support strong year‑round trading and give the pub a visually impressive exterior presence. Private accommodation The accommodation comprises 3 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen. bathroom and toilet.
