Pub Overview
A fixture of the Cambridgeshire village of Swaffham Bulbeck for over 350 years, the Black Horse enjoys a highly visible location on the edge of the beautiful village green. Friendly and welcoming in ambience, the pub offers extensive car parking and comes complete with a well-specced commercial kitchen in situ, meaning the infrastructure needed to create a destination dining venue is already in place. En-suite accommodation in a converted stable block provides an additional revenue stream for the savvy operator.
Situated just ten minutes from both Cambridge and Newmarket, the demographic within reach of the pub offers huge potential for developing its trade and establishing it as one of the premier drinking and dining options in the area.

Experience of retail catering and providing consistently great hospitality will be essential to making a success of the Black Horse. A thorough approach to marketing is important to ensure that the retail offer is well promoted in the local area.
