    The Business

    Our clients have owned The Kings Arms since 2012 and during this time have taken a poorly trading village centre pub & restaurant and transformed it into the successful wet-led community venue that we see today. The Kings Arms benefits from a loyal local following and includes both a darts and pool team. The venue hosts a variety of entertainment nights which include celebratory events such as birthdays and christenings.

    It is our opinion that The Kings Arms would suit a ‘hands on’ owner operator who could further increase turnover by extending the current games room (STPP), allowing more space to the rear of the building creating a dedicated area in which to serve food. It is also our belief that trade could be improved with the creation of a detailed food menu which could attract mid-week workers from the nearby West Burton & Cottam Power Stations.

    Our clients have been back in operation of the business since June 2019 after a long period of leasing the property to tenants. Net Turnover ending March 2020 stood at £161,931 resulting in a Net Profit of £31,878 per annum. Further accounting detail will be made available to serious parties following a formal viewing.
