Property Description

The Kings Head sits on the A4 heading out of Newbury towards Reading, on the entrance into Thatcham town centre. A standalone pub with a shopping arcade and market square immediately adjacent, the Kings Head is well-regarded and at the heart of the community. The internal trading area is in good decorative order and benefits from three distinct spaces; the main bar, lounge bar and a dining area. Externally, a well-maintained beer garden with a smoking solution proves a popular asset in the warmer months. We are interested in speaking to publicans who can grow this already well-established business.

Private Accommodation: The private accommodation is large and well-kept and comprises 4 bedrooms, a bathroom, shower room and lounge.

To the rear of the property is a spacious and well-maintained beer garden. Wooden picnic benches can accommodate up to 40 covers and a roofed area fitted with heating lamps and a TV offers a smoking solution. There is a tarmacked car park that can accommodate 20 vehicles and also houses storage sheds. To the front of the building is a small cottage that is currently not in use but presents itself with potential to develop into letting accommodation to increase trade.

Regional Manager Comments

The Kings Head is a well-regarded pub at the heart of the community. It benefits from a regular local’s trade, as well as the golf society and other sports teams who are very supportive of the pub. This is a wet-led business; therefore, it is essential that the new publican has the ability and knowledge required to increase trade. This can be done through the provision of team sports, building on the good relationships with the local community, and be willing to be involved in all aspects of life in the locality. The new publican should implement a varied food offer and introduce a quality entertainment schedule to make the Kings Head the go-to venue in Thatcham.
