Royal Refurbishment Planned!

The Royal Oak is set for a major refurbishment. Internally, the pub will be extended, resulting in a significantly larger and more open interior. The addition of a new kitchen will introduce dining to the Royal Oak, and a redesign of the front area will be undertaken to maximize the efficiency of the space. The overall style of the interior will reflect a "Premium Local" ambience, combining elements of modernity with a touch of traditional charm, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for customers.

On the exterior, there will be enhancements made to the front of the pub to improve its kerb appeal. The existing car park and gardens, which are already in good order, will remain untouched. The external refurbishment is designed to give the pub a fresh and appealing look that will attract both regulars and new patrons. The combined impact of these refurbishments is expected to be significant, driving a substantial increase in trade.

Incredible Demographics

The Royal Oak in Aughton, West Lancashire, holds a fabulous location at the end of a dual carriageway that funnels traffic from the north end of Liverpool into the West Lancashire villages, Southport and Ormskirk. Aughton is renowned for its significant affluence, boasting two Michelin-starred restaurants. The demographics in the area skew towards high affluence, and nearby Edge Hill University adds a youthful, dynamic element. With limited local competition, the Royal Oak is uniquely positioned to serve the local community. Notable landmarks such as Edge Hill University, Aintree Racecourse, and easy access to Liverpool and major motorways enhance its appeal.

Uncapped Potential

The Royal Oak presents an outstanding investment opportunity with its limitless potential. Boasting 133 covers inside and an additional 142 externally, it’ll be a spacious and welcoming environment. The presence of a well-maintained garden, ample car park, and a commitment to offering great food creates a unique selling point, especially considering it has no direct competitors in the area. The pub's capacity for growth is substantial, making it an ideal venture for an experienced and hands-on operator who can cater to the needs and desires of the local community whilst continually evolving to meet the demands of their patrons.
