Dr Syntax Prudhoe
Dr Syntax is a family friendly community pub in the centre of Prudhoe, south Northumberland. Prudhoe is approximately 11 miles west of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and predominately a commuter town for Newcastle. The pub is located on the main thoroughfare through the town centre, alongside a mix of shops and other local businesses and surrounded by residential properties. Dr Syntax is enjoyed by the local community, who visit for a drink, Sunday lunch and entertainment in the form of live sports, live music, discos and pub games.
Should investment go ahead by Star Pubs and Bars Dr Syntax will be given a fresh, modern new look to maximise its appeal and allow the new operator to make the pub the go-to choice in town. There is excellent opportunity to build on the existing food offer and develop the events calendar to drive trade.
BDM's Vision:
With a major refurbishment being considered, Dr Syntax has excellent opportunity to become the go-to choice for the community both day and night. Development of the food offer and a varied events calendar, combined with a new look will transform the pub's appeal.
Community Focused Operator Wanted
We are looking for an operator with drive and a passion to be part of the community. Experience in running a successful pub is preferable, but alternatively strong transferable business skills are also desirable. You must have the ability to develop trade through fresh ideas for the entertainment and food offer.
Pub Features
Trading Area & Facilities
Upstairs there are six rooms and two bathrooms, which are currently unused but could be used as letting rooms.
Externally, Dr Syntax is a red brick traditional two-storey building with good kerb appeal. There is a beer garden and courtyard with picnic benches to the rear - excellent space for adding extra appeal in the summer months. In addition there is a good sized car park to the side of the pub.
Star Pubs and Bars are considering a major refurbishment of Dr Syntax, which once complete would see the pub showcase a refreshed, contemporary decor, complete with new or revamped fixtures, fittings and soft finishes throughout. The outside would also benefit from a new lighting & signage scheme.
Applicants should be aware that all refurbishments are subject to final board approval which will be determined as part of the leasing process. Where a significant investment is made in a pub by Star Pubs & Bars, an "Investment Exemption" will be required. The exemption means that the option of a Market Rent Option lease won't be available at rent review for a period of up to seven years for this site, as per The Pub Code (2016).
