Nevile Arms, Nottinghamshire

Property Description

The Nevile Arms stands proudly beside the peaceful village green in the heart of Kinoulton, a charming and affluent village in the Vale of Belvoir, just minutes from Nottingham. Dating back to the 1860s, this characterful, detached pub has long been a centre of village life rich in heritage and community spirit. A much-loved local institution, The Nevile Arms continues to welcome both residents and visitors with warmth and tradition. Ideally located near the A46 and A52, Kinoulton offers excellent road links to Nottingham, Newark, and Leicester, along with regular bus services and nearby train stations, making it easily accessible for all.

Pub Layout The Nevile Arms is a fantastic opportunity and has huge potential. Upon entering, guests are greeted by the inviting ambiance of the traditional bar, where they can unwind with a refreshing drink and soak in the pub’s timeless atmosphere. The bar is well stocked with a great product range and caters to all tastes. The furniture, carefully chosen to complement the pub’s style, adds to the unique charm and character of the space. A focal point of the pub is the welcoming open fire, casting a warm glow and inviting guests to gather around and is popular in the winter months. The layout of The Nevile Arms caters to a variety of preferences, offering both formal and relaxed dining/drinking areas to suit any occasion whether it be a family enjoying Sunday lunch or a group of friends catching up. You could easily separate areas of the pub to allow small functions or clubs. The well-equipped kitchen is ready to go and has the capacity to allow the new license to hit the ground running. Externally, the pub offers a large, enclosed beer garden, providing the perfect setting for al fresco dining or simply basking in the sunshine. Additionally, the ample car park with 25 spaces ensures convenient access for guests arriving by car. Both external spaces lend themselves to offering community events throughout those summer months.  

Trading Style

As the Nevile Arms is the only pub in the village, it is indeed the heart of the community the new licensees would want to reposition the food offering to include traditional favourites alongside weekend specials. Weekly promotions like pie and a pint nights and Fish Fridays can add a good value element and encourage regular visits from the locals. Using local produce not only supports nearby businesses but also adds freshness and quality to the dishes. It’s a win-win situation.  Ensuring consistent standards of food will keep customers coming back for more. You would want to consider events like quiz nights, live music, and themed parties to draw in locals. With the right balance of creativity, tradition, and community engagement, the Nevile Arms could become even more of a cherished hub for the village.
