The Waggon pub in Taunton has shut down again, just months after reopening under new management
Taunton: A beloved local spot, The Waggon pub, has closed its doors again. It’s a real bummer since it just reopened last March after a brief hiatus.
The pub was under new management, but it seems the manager has left, leading to this latest closure. It’s such a shame because it had a nice outdoor area and was a great place to catch live sports.
Owned by Stonegate, the pub is now on the hunt for a new publican. They’re offering a guide price of £355 a week and even throwing in the first eight weeks rent-free to sweeten the deal.
With an annual turnover of around £382,838, they’re calling it a “low ingoings” opportunity. They really want someone energetic to bring the pub back to life.
Stonegate is looking for someone fun-loving and passionate about people. They want a new leader to make the pub a special place for the locals.
The Waggon is especially known for its Sunday carvery, which is a big hit with families. The spokesperson mentioned that good quality pub food can really boost business, especially on weekends.
It’s a great way to make Sunday lunch easier for families in the area. Plus, the kitchen is conveniently located right behind the bar, making things run smoothly.
So, if you’re in the area, keep an eye out for updates on The Waggon. It would be great to see it bustling with life again!
