New tenant being sought for the Black & Grey pub in Morpeth
The company that owns a pub in Morpeth town centre which was given a new look at the start of this year is seeking a new tenant.
Internally, the Black & Grey underwent a full refurbishment to include new fixtures, fittings, furniture and flooring throughout – including a new bar and dining area, toilets and a kitchen.
Externally, the establishment on Newgate Street owned by Admiral Taverns had new signage installed and a fresh coat of paint to greet its visitors.
North Northumberland MP David Smith visited the pub in March to discuss the £257,000 refurbishment and Admiral’s business model, and heard first-hand why pubs are so important to communities across the UK.
Now Samantha Banks, business development manager at Admiral Taverns, is looking for an experienced licensee.
According to the company’s website: “The Black & Grey would particularly suit an experienced hospitality professional or chef looking to operate their own pub restaurant without the financial commitment of purchasing a venue.
“The pub operates from a single trading room, with a spacious open-plan layout that creates a welcoming and versatile environment. A blend of tiled and wooden flooring, panelled walls, feature wallpaper and bright décor gives the pub a distinctive and eclectic feel while retaining its traditional charm.
“The pub benefits from a proven and successful food offer, with popular Sunday lunches and tapas-style dishes currently accounting for around 20% of total sales.
“Alongside its successful food trade, the pub enjoys a strong drinks business – supported by its reputation as a vibrant weekend destination.”
