Pub Layout
The Shepherd’s Arms features two distinct serving areas. The bar area accommodates around 20 people and includes TV screens for live sports. Additionally, there is an annex room with a large pool table and darts board, making it an ideal space for sports teams. The second serving area is divided into three sections, primarily used as a dining area with a capacity of approximately 60 people. On weekends, this space can transform into a stage area for live performances. Refurbished in 2022, the pub looks beautiful internally with both bars enhanced by open fires, which contribute to the atmosphere and ambiance. The pub also includes a fully equipped catering kitchen located to the right of the bar. Externally, the Shepherd’s Arms boasts ample outside space at the front and rear, which offers potential for further development, though it has not yet been utilized to its full capacity.

BDM Vision
The Shepherd’s Arms is an amazing opportunity for an experienced and knowledgeable licensee. An established and strongly performing business with great potential to grow from its current position, it requires an individual or couple to really take this pub to the next level. This is an amazing opportunity for a licensee who will engage with local groups, charities, and organisations which can significantly enhance its appeal as a community hub. The pub has the scope to attract a diverse range of customers with the opportunity to improve and build on the current food offer by leveraging a fantastic drinks offer to complement the already established food trade. Hosting various events such as quizzes and special themed nights with a strong marketing plan to execute this is key to its success. Exceptional retail and customer service skills, a passion for hospitality, and a keen interest in serving the community will revive the Shepherd’s Arms as a traditional British pub with a warm and cosy welcome.
