A well-established freehold public house, The Anchor Tavern, has been brought to market in the coastal town of Bo’ness.
Selling agents Bruce & Co described the property as ‘an excellent opportunity for an experienced operator or investor seeking a profitable, community-led hospitality business’.
Located on the town’s North Street, The Anchor Tavern is a traditional wet-led pub said to have a strong local following and a reputation for providing a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.
The business is currently vendor-operated and supported by a small team of part-time staff, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations and consistent service for its loyal customer base.
The pub generates an annual turnover of approximately £310,000, delivering an adjusted net profit in the region of £100,000. Currently trading exclusively on a wet-sales basis, Bruce & Co said that the business offers significant scope for growth, particularly through the introduction of food, live entertainment, themed events, or enhanced marketing.
Internally, the venue features a well-maintained and fully equipped bar servery with multiple draught lines, seating for around 50 patrons, and entertainment options such as a television area for live sports, gaming machines, and a dartboard. Additional facilities include customer WCs, cellar storage, and staff areas.
The business is said to benefit from steady footfall, strong community support, and proximity to key locations such as Falkirk, Linlithgow, and Edinburgh.
The current owner is now seeking to retire, giving a new operator a chance to take over a profitable and well-run business with clear potential for further development.
Bruce & Co are asking £449,950 for the freehold of The Anchor Tavern.
