Pub Layout

Full Capex investment was completed in the summer of 2023 and the pub condition is holding up very well since the investment. The pub has been revitalised in every aspect of space ensuring it keeps its charm whilst seamlessly incorporating modern design elements including a courtyard beer garden. Internally it has various seating options including fixed seating and loose seating creating distinctive areas within the pub all serviced by a central bar. The pub is split into a traditional vault bar with games room area and a quieter lounge bar, with a more comfortable area to drink, socialise and watch sports. To the rear it has external seating space for shade and a courtyard beer garden for sun and shade and a covered sports viewing area externally too.  It shows live sports TV throughout the week on 7 internal and two additional TV’s in the beer garden. Known for its sports teams the pub has a designated area for darts with illuminated boards with currently 3 x darts teams, a pool table with 2 x league teams, 3 x dominoes teams and a local football team which plays out of the pub.

Trading Style

The Brewery Arms is a true community pub that benefits from a good regular local drinking trade. The new operator will need to provide a sound base for sports teams and traditional bar games including football, pool, darts dominoes along with a vibrant and varied entertainment program at weekends. It goes without saying the new operator will put the community at the heart of everything that goes on and will strive to make the Brewery Arms the community hub in the local area.  The Brewery Arms has delivered on investment this past two years and needs an experienced operator who can both command a sometimes challenging trading area, whist delivering good customer service, a reason to visit and community focusses.
