Burnside pubs and hotels up for sale following administration

Following the collapse into administration of Burnside (UK) and Burnside Inns last week, the pub and hotel businesses owned by the firms have been put up for sale.

The Plough Hotel in Stenhousemuir and the Graeme, a hotel bar and restaurant in Falkirk, are both owned and operated by Burnside (UK), while Burnside Inns Ltd owns and operates the Red Lion in Larbert, Stirlingshire.

All three businesses, which are available individually or as a package, are continuing to trade.
The seven-bedroom Plough Hotel, which is situated in Stenhousemuir town centre, features a public bar, restaurant/coffee shop, function suite, adjacent dining room and meeting room, and car park.

The Graeme has 14 bedrooms, including 10 en-suite, an open-plan bar/restaurant, dining room, beer garden and car park. The Red Lion comprises a 14 en-suite bedroom hotel, Champagne bar, breakfast room and Chinese takeaway service.

Brian Sheldon, director at Christie & Co and overseer of the sales of these businesses on behalf of the administrators, said, “All three businesses are in a good condition and benefit from established local customer bases.

“We therefore expect the businesses to generate significant interest from experienced operators and local developers,” he added.
