About the pub
The Crows Nest is situated in Seaham on a fantastic coastal location with a mix of local and tourist guests. The pub sees peak trade in the summer when tourism is high, but has bags of opportunity outside of the seasonal trade to keep locals coming back.
It functions via a large bar area with a 60% wet trade but also a strong food offering, benefiting from a pizza oven front of house and a classic pub menu. Also on offer to the community at the site is Sky Sports & BT Sports, perfect for driving sales across sporting occasions.
The Crows Nest is very much at the heart of the community with a local feel, for that reason it's important that there is always something going on and guests both regular and tourist have reasons to visit.
The site has been successfully ran and is available due to an internal move, it has a full senior team in place apart from a Head Chef which is currently being recruited for - ideal for a GM looking to bring a trusted Head Chef partner with them.
