Christie Finance has provided funding for new owners, Nick Meurig Jones and Janet Jones, to purchase the Blue Boar Bar and Restaurant in the attractive market town of St Clears, near Carmarthen Bay in West Carmarthenshire.

 

Located on the Taf estuary, just off the A30 between Carmarthen and Haverfordwest, St Clears is within easy reach of beaches at Laugharne, Pendine, Saundersfoot and Tenby and close to a number of visitor attractions.

 

The Blue Boar Bar and Restaurant stands alongside Pentre Road and trades virtually unopposed in St Clears as a café, bar, pub and restaurant.  The two-storey, semi-detached property briefly comprises lounge and reception bars, a main 36-cover restaurant, three-bedroom owner’s accommodation, private parking and a small terrace.

 

The boar is an emblem of St Clears, which is known to historians for its association with the Rebecca Riots of 1839. The then Blue Boar Inn in St Clears acted as a base for the trustees and magistrates after oppressed farmers attacked the hated tollgates. Dylan Thomas lived near St Clears and the town’s characters inspired much of his famous play ‘Under Milk Wood’.

 

Evan Morgan, mortgage broker of Christie Finance, comments: “This sale represents the realisation of an ambition of the buyers to own their own bar and restaurant. I am delighted to have acted on their behalf in securing a very competitive loan from the Royal Bank of Scotland.”

 

Nick has experience in the catering trade but this is his first business purchase.  He comments: “Janet and I would like to thank Christie Finance for helping us with our first purchase and look forward to doing business with them again.”

 

The Blue Boar Bar & Restaurant was sold for an undisclosed figure from an asking price of £290,000 for the freehold interest.
