Chance to own beach front pub The Ship Hotel in New Brighton

The opportunity has arisen to buy a "great little pub" on Wirral's waterfront.

The Ship Hotel has been listed for sale and it's ready to be handed over with a pub manager already running the business. The public house, on Victoria Parade, is just a few metres from New Brighton beach and all that Marine Promenade has to offer.

With a long term tenant on site, the new buyer would be acquiring a property but also a business investment. After being listed for sale on Rightmove with Karl Tatler, the Ship Hotel has recently been reduced to £220,000.

The Ship Hotel has many five star reviews left already on TripAdivsor, with visitors describing it as a "superb" and "a great little pub." One review, left by Stephen Kelly in 2021, said: "The Ship is an excellent pub in New Brighton that offers extremely cheap beers and is a great pub to watch live sport.

"An old pub dating from at least 1870 when is was called the Commercial and then renamed in 1956 to its present name. A free hold pub the Ship has had a refurbishment and with the emphasis on live sport there are lots of TV screens throughout the whole pubs interior and in an unused room the owner added a sports room with a pool table and dart boards.

"I remember coming here a few years ago and the Ship was a tired looking pub but it looks fantastic now with a fresh look and feel and superb seating options throughout the whole pub." Another five star review reads: "This is always our favourite place when we travel to New Brighton - a lovely pub with really friendly staff. Drinks very reasonably priced. Great place to socialise and play a few rounds of pool."

The Karl Tatler listing reads: "Public house for sale! The Ship Hotel is ready and available. To be sold with a long term tenant on site. Located just off the promenade on the very buoyant Victoria Parade, New Brighton."
