THE BUSINESS
Recently closed (Oct 16) but was that of a popular rural Inn
drawing trade from the many surrounding villages and larger
conurbations of Wellington, Tiverton, Wiveliscombe and
Taunton. The Globe is well known for its atmosphere and
character and has a healthy mix of wet and food trade. Food
is freshly prepared and locally sourced where possible with
an inviting menu served lunchtimes and evenings. The
Globe also offers a wide range of local real ales, good wines
together with a fine collection of Somerset brandies and
cremes.
Sadly the Landlord recently passed away hence the
reason for closure and sale. The sale of the Globe Inn
presents a unique opportunity to buy a well established
rural business poised to grow further under new
ownership, ideally an 'owner driver' couple.
Further financial and trading information will be provided to
bone fide interested parties following a formal viewing
arranged through the Sole Selling Agents, Bettesworths.
