A popular Workington town centre pub has been put on the market for £700,000.

Yankees in Washington Street has been advertised as a modern bar and restaurant with a “high turnover and excellent profit.”

The business has been operated by the Walker family since 1986.

Kurtis Walker, who runs the pub, was unavailable for comment but a marketing website says the owners are selling “due to retirement.”

The pub can accommodate 450 customers and includes a dance floor, games area and catering kitchen.

The business currently operates with two full-time managers and up to 35 part-time staff.

Two self-contained flats above the pub are also part of the sale.

Also included is an inventory of trade fixtures, fittings, equipment and furnishings.
