Very recently refurbished, The Royal Hotel is a striking detached building set in the heart of the village of Stillington in County Durham. Located halfway between Sedgefield and Stockton, Stillington is home to a wide demographic ranging from young families through to the elderely. The pub is now the last licensed venue following the closure of the Working Mens Club in 2011. Stillington is an area going through redevelopment with over 100 new houses currently under construction in close proximity to the pub. The new licensee will have a good understanding of the locality and consumer needs in the area and will want to build on the community nature of the site and therefore be welcoming to all locals old and new.

• Recently refurbished
• Loyal customer base
• Established sports teams

Trading style

This is very much a drinks led community local - There is nothing better than seeing a busy pub at 5pm on weekdays when workers have “downed tools” and wish to catch up with their friends and simply enjoy some well-earned rest and relaxation, The Royal Hotel is simply at its best facilitating such activity. The outlet is also home to both men and ladies darts teams which bolster weekday trading.

Trade accommodation

The Royal Hotel benefits from multi trading spaces. The main bar, which was recently redecorated, is a cozy warm inviting space with a prominent feature bar. This bar is big enough to accommodate large paties for general socializing, live sport viewing and small gatherings. There is a small pool room adjacent to the main bar as well as a small meeting room area which is also popular with older customers wanting peace and quiet away from the vibrancy of the main bar. Upstairs is a very large function room complete with its own draught beer servery which is popular with the locals looking for a room to host their family events. Additionally, regular entertainment can be promoted in this facility.

Private accommodation

The private accommodation is well maintained and decorated to a very good standard and will make a great village residence for any licensee. The site comprises; three bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and lounge.
