Blacksmiths Arms, Kingsley Holt - Stoke-On-Trent

RUN THE BLACKSMITHS ARMS, KINGSLEY HOLT

Your Local Partnership

Overview: The Blacksmiths Arms is a welcoming community pub in Kingsley Holt, near Cheadle, with a loyal customer base and a strong local reputation. Positioned on a main road in the Staffordshire Moorlands, the pub benefits from regular local trade, passing custom and seasonal visitors, making it an excellent pub partnership opportunity for an operator looking to grow a traditional wet-led community pub.

The business: Currently taking around £5,400 per week, the business operates with a 100% wet sales mix. The pub is a simple one-room operation featuring a central bar, pool table and darts board, providing strong foundations as a community-focused local. One of its standout features is the large grassed beer garden, which offers valuable additional trading space and opportunities for outdoor events, gatherings and summer occasions.

The opportunity: The Blacksmiths Arms already benefits from established pool and darts teams that generate regular footfall throughout the week. There is clear potential to grow sales further by increasing rhythm-of-the-week activity, introducing additional pub teams, developing local events and making greater use of the beer garden. With a strong community feel already in place, the next operator can build on existing foundations and strengthen the pub's reputation as a go-to local destination.

Who we're looking for: We're looking for an experienced, hands-on operator who understands what makes a successful community pub. You'll be confident building relationships with regulars, supporting local teams and creating reasons for guests to visit throughout the week. Strong hosting skills, local engagement and a passion for providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere will be key to success.

What's in it for you?

• 20% share of weekly wet sales, excluding VAT.
• Keep 100% of the food sales.
• Low ingoing costs, starting with just a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal cost (deposits can vary depending on the business).
• Accommodation included, with most bills covered except council tax and TV Licence.

Ready to take the next step?

Run the Blacksmiths Arms and build on the success of an established community pub with a loyal customer base and clear growth potential. If you're ready to take on your own pub business, create memorable occasions for local guests and make the most of a fantastic beer garden and community atmosphere, we'd love to hear from you.
