Our clients purchased the old tailor's shop in 2019, just prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, and extensively renovated, refurbished and redesigned the premises before opening in 2021. No expense has been spared in the renovation and the property is presented in immaculate order. The Outfitters is now the ‘go to’ place in Brough and attracts clientèle from the local vicinity as well as tourists visiting the area. It is number one on Trip Advisor for its food offerings.
Regular karaoke, open mic nights and sports events take place at the venue and it has become increasingly popular. Currently trading 4 days per week from 12:00 - 22:00 Thursday and Friday, Saturday 16:00 - 22:00 and Sunday 12:00 - 19:00, there is the opportunity to increase turnover by extending the business’s opening times.
