With parts understood to date from the early 18th The Bulls Head represents a classic inn which has been serving the local community for hundreds of years. The trading areas are full of character and provide a great British pub experience for the many patrons who support the business. Once home to Britain's oldest landlady the Bulls Head has been owned by our clients from 2018 and they are now looking to retire. Within their ownership they have undertaken a root and branch refurbishment of the uppers floors and created a new beer garden and pool room, plus created a warm and inviting space for their regulars, by sticking with the charming public bar that has worked so well for so many years. The business is wet led and sales to year end 2023 were £336,734.
Location
With a population just over 6,000 and growing, Callington is a long-established town in East Cornwall, approximately eight miles North of Saltash and nine miles South of Launceston.
Callington is well placed in connection with the principal road networks. From Saltash the Tamar Bridge provides a link to the A38 Devon Expressway to Exeter where the motorway network begins. Leading in a Westerly direction from Saltash the A38 provides good access to Mid and South Cornwall. The A388 road runs North from Callington to Launceston where it connects into the A30 trunk road. This provides an alternative route through to Exeter to the East and to the West down to North and West Cornwall.
The Bulls Head occupies a prominent position in the centre of the town and attracts local and passing trade.
