Trading Style

The Buckingham Arms is a wet-led community pub with a strong local following, particularly known for its mid-week pool and darts teams. The business thrives on cask ale sales, currently offering three hand-pulls featuring well-known national brands. However, there’s significant potential to boost these sales by partnering with SIBA and introducing locally brewed real ales from the many microbreweries in the surrounding area.

With the addition of a modern draught range, an upgraded selection of premium spirits, and a carefully curated list of quality world wines, this already consistent-turnover pub presents a compelling opportunity for the right operator to further increase profitability.
