About the pub

The Pheasant is a large community pub with a strong food offering. Situated on a small shopping precinct in Ashford, with Sainsburys and a number of small private shops, businesses, and a nursery nearby. It benefits from a large carpark for all to use. The surrounding area has a large number housing areas, business parks and is just a mile away from a local venue park that has a garden centre, and a selection of fast food businesses, meaning plenty of passing trade.

The Pheasant is ideally laid out to operate as both a restaurant and drinking pub, as you walk in the main doors and you walk straight into an L-shaped bar. To the left is drinking side of the business going through to a pool room and then a great condition undercover smoking area. To the right you walk into a more dining focussed area which includes a small children's area, and front of house pizza oven. The pub has a beautifully kept private garden area, mainly patioed and perfect for that sunny day dining or just drinking.

The pub's clientele is a real mix of ages during the day including retired, families, young, and business, in the evenings turns more into a locals pub but still a mixture of guest ranges. The Pheasant offers pool and darts facilities, perfect for pulling in teams however, does not have Sky Sports in situ.

There is spacious 3 bedroom accommodation available to the General Manager.

This site is really set up for success, with a strong senior team of 2 Assistant Managers and a Head Chef (who is also an Area Lead Chef) in place as well as full FOH and BOH team.
