THE RED LION, STEEPLE ASTON.

The Red Lion is situated in the beautiful village of Steeple Aston some 12 miles from Banbury to the north and Oxford 16m to the south.

South Side, Steeple Aston, Oxfordshire, OX25 4RY

The Red Lion is the only pub in the village and also services the villages of Steeple Aston, Middle Aston and Lower & Upper Heyford. The village has a shop, a post office, school, pre-school, village hall, and a sports and recreation club and sports pitch

Trading Areas
On arrival at the front of The Red Lion, up some steps, you walk into the pub and are immediately faced with a choice of turning right into a small trading area that has in the past been used for meetings and most recently as a coffee shop or alternatively you turn left into the main trading area. There is a beautiful bay window with seating and a generous bar on the right hand side that backs onto an equally generous fully equipped and compliant catering kitchen.

In the past the site has also offered Pizza most notably for takeaway during lockdown and these proved very popular and to that effect there is a dedicated room for the production of this offer. On passing the bar, straight ahead are the loo facilities and to the right you go up to some stairs into the barn area that has been sympathetically converted into a restaurant area with some 40 covers. External trading areas consist of some 60+ Covers and are to the front and side of the pub. There has recently been a significant amount of work done to the external aspect of the pub, internally the site is in good order however I am sure that the successful applicant will want to make this their own. Within the curtilage of the pub there is also a separate outbuilding, structurally this is being monitored and will not form part of the agreement. There is off street parking for approx 10 cars.

Private Accommodation
Private accommodation is upstairs and is generous. It has recently been decorated to a good standard with the inclusion of a new bathroom, carpets and decoration throughout, it consists of three bedrooms with a shared bathroom and large sitting room.

Perfect Candidate
The perfect candidates will ideally be a couple with great retail standards as well as the ability to provide great quality pub grub and fantastic beers. This would be a great starter pub for a couple that meet the above requirements and they will also be willing to immerse themselves in their local community.
