IF YOU’RE AT a loose end when it comes to work and have been dreaming of being your own boss – particularly in the hospitality industry – take this as your sign.
The Cross Guns is a gastropub in the Meath countryside that’s for sale and guarantees a change of pace for anyone craving one. Business-wise, the pub sits outside Navan town, which is just under an hour from Dublin city centre, as is the airport. So, depending on how your new venture is marketed, you could expect visitors from far and wide.
The building can cater for indoor and outdoor events and has an overall floor area of 390m.
There’s a main bar and restaurant area as well as a smaller front bar and numerous seating areas dotted throughout the property. There’s even a charming snug room for more intimate drinks.
There’s also a fully functional kitchen and a separate keg room and storage area. A business doesn’t come without admin, so upstairs, there are some office spaces and more room for storage.
For private events, there’s also a function room with its own bar and toilets. It’s also connected to the kitchen, so it could make for a wedding meal option, too.
The premises is fully licensed for restaurant and bar services, which eliminates some paperwork and waiting straight away. And as it’s hooked up to all mains services from water to septic tank, the next owner could open as soon as they’re handed the keys.
When it comes to clientele, the next owner could gear their marketing to cyclists and hikers who are enjoying the new 30 km Greenway from Navan, Co Meath to Kingscourt, Co Cavan. A laneway next to the pub links to the route and with Navan town a twenty minute drive away, the pub isn’t completely isolated and is sure to make for a nice tranquil spot for those looking for a break from the busier streets.
Cross Guns, Castletown, Co. Meath is on the market for €495,000 through REA T & J Gavigan.
