- By FAITH PRING faith.pring@reachplc.com

IF you’re looking for a change of speed and a fresh career, or simply want to try something new, then owning a pub could be the perfect opportunit­y for you.

Greene King is currently looking for a new owner to lease one of its pubs in Alvaston.

The Silver Ghost, off Crayford Road and Field Drive, is searching for a new owner to run the pub that is popular with people on the residentia­l estate.

Greene King marketed the pub as a “100 per cent wet led community site” that is “currently popular with older customers and families who are able to enjoy a drink whilst socialisin­g with friends, playing pub games and taking part in regular events”.

They said: “The customers are loyal and the trade is good.

“The pub can build upon these foundation­s by introducin­g a simple hand held food offer, continuing to encourage community or team events and improve digital marketing.

“The site is well presented and the secondary bar area can double up as a function room.

“The future is bright for the Silver Ghost and enables a new operator to take this already great venue to new heights.”

Complete with dining areas and patio space, the annual rent of the property comes to £19,000, with a forecasted operator profit of £22,990.

Anyone interested in owning the pub will also be expected to pay certain entry costs, including the price of glassware and crockery.

The private accommodat­ion attached to the property also consist of three bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen and bathroom.

Sarah Adams, business developmen­t manager for Greene King, said: “I am seeking a community focused operator, with a strong customer focus.

“I would welcome applicatio­ns from the right first time operator.

“The pub is well regarded by the locals and is popular in the community, which offers a strong foundation to build upon.”

The future is bright for the Silver Ghost and enables a new operator to take this already great venue to new heights.
