Colliers offering rare chance to take on Full Moon pub and make it shine again

An historic Somerset pub, parts of which date back to before the English Civil War, has come onto the market with a £390,000 price tag.

The Grade II listed Full Moon at Rudge, near Frome, has five letting bedrooms and a large garden as well as traditional features including flagstone floors and fireplace.  

A function room built in 1990 seats around 85 people and there is also a skittle alley and plus room for a marquee.

In addition to the public areas, there is a spacious owner’s flat on the first floor featuring a lounge, two double bedrooms, bathrooms and a kitchenette.

Described by agents Colliers as an intimate and welcoming pub, the Full Moon survived a few difficult years before going into administration.

It was then bought in 2017 by experienced publicans Mark Hey and Liz Chamberlain, who started a refurbishment programme.

However, a change in their circumstances means the couple are now looking to sell the pub.

Ed Jefferson, of Colliers International’s Bristol-based hotels team, said: “To say the Full Moon represents excellent value for money is an understatement.  

“Our client has carried out a number of improvements, but as a result of a change in circumstance, they have decided to sell the pub – creating an excellent opportunity for somebody to take the business forward.  

“The Full Moon is only lightly traded so there is obvious potential to complete the refurbishment, re-open the rooms and re-introduce a food offering.”
