REF: MK/90929 01434 607841 LOCATION Lying just 5 miles south of the Scottish border, Aikton is a small village located in Cumbria approximately 3 miles away from Wigton with the closest city being 8 miles away.

The building is located on the outskirts of the village of Aikton. It is a large white rendered building with a slate roof built around the 18th Century. Some extensions have been added over the years which have flat roofs, one of which is the kitchen and the other is the dining area.

TRADE AREAS On entering the pub there are three rooms, all of which are used for dining as the pub is 70% food led. The MAIN AREA is set for approximately 32 covers which is where the bar is located. The second room is to the front of the building and is set for 18 covers. The third room, to the rear of the pub, has large glass sliding doors which gives views over the beer garden and surrounding hills. This room is set for 20 covers.

Access to the KITCHEN is gained from the main bar area and is located to the back of the building. The kitchen is of ample size and has a very good range of commercial cooking equipment.

The CELLAR is accessed from the main bar area and, being at ground floor level, has good head height with the usual chilling and dispensing equipment. It also has access from the front of the building for deliveries.
