A pub with a “newly created beer garden” is up for sale – but the owners say they are in no rush to move on.

Listed on Rightmove with agents Sidney Phillips, The Plough in Dymchurch Road, New Romney is described as one of the town's “established and popular businesses”.

It is listed for £750,000.

However, owners of the 18th-century detached pub revealed they “are in no rush to sell” in an announcement on their Facebook page yesterday.

Clearing up rumours about the sale, they said: “This doesn't mean that anything will change anytime soon and we are open for business as usual.

“We are in no rush to sell the business and we will be picky to who we sell the pub to.

“We have worked extremely hard to get the pub where it is now.”

The owners went on to say since taking over the premises in 2021 it has become “one of the busiest on the Romney Marsh.”

The building is located along the A259 and has a rating of four on Tripadvisor.

On Rightmove, it is described as an “extensively renovated detached public house” with “five trade areas”.

As well as this, the building contains four five-bedroom owners accommodation.

In response to the owner's announcement online, customers have expressed their support and gratitude.

One person commented: “Ah man I'll be sad if you sell. You've done amazing things with that place and are our favourite place to go for family meals.”

Another added: “You have done wonders with the pub.

“We have been fortunate enough to live here now for 23 years and it’s only since your ownership that we have made it one of our favourite locals.”
