LOCATION
Tiverton is a bustling market town rich in history and the largest town in Mid Devon with a population of approximately
17,500. It is situated to the north of the City of Exeter (15 miles) and south west of Taunton (20 miles) on the A396 which
links to Junction 27 of the M5, some 5 miles distant. Standing on two rivers, the Lowman and the Exe, the name
"Tiverton" originates from the word "Twy-Ford" or two fords which relate to the fords across the rivers. The Bank Bar and
Café is situated on Bampton Street in the centre of the town in a highly visible, main road position.

THE BUSINESS
Is that of a busy, town centre public house. Currently run
by the owner with a full time staff of five and a small team
of part timers, the business is currently open from 9.00am
until late evening close, seven days a week. From early
morning breakfast to the daytime coffee and lunches and
traditional evening pub trade, the Bank Bar Café draws
business from both locals and visitors to the town alike.
Since being in the current owner’s hands, the business
has grown substantially every year despite the difficult
economic climate, and is very much the pub of choice in
the town. With the benefit of a sizeable trade garden
situated to the rear, the daytime “café” trade, the evening
pub business and the income provided from the long term
letting of the four residential flats on the first and second
floors, the business has the benefit of several income
streams.
