Property Description

The Canterbury Arms is a classic local community pub and appeals to a wide-ranging community. Situated a short walk from Gillingham centre, the pub is a one bar servery internally, hosting a raised area for live music events. The pub also benefits from a large rear garden mainly of hard standing and decking. This is a wet lead operation and the Canterbury Tales has created a strong customer base within the local community offering a place to drink and socialise. This pub requires a publican whether experienced or new to the trade who can grow the opportunity and develop it within the community.

Private Accommodation: Private accommodation covers two upper floors and comprises four bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, plus large lounge.

Trading Style

Indoor trading area

The Canterbury Tales is an intimate one bar servery with a small rear area where a pool table is sited. In addition, there is a raised section that currently hosts live music events at the weekend. The layout of the Canterbury Tales is known to be easy for both supervision and control.

Outdoor trading area

To the rear of the Canterbury Tales, the garden area is extensive and mainly hard standing and decking, which has recently been fully recovered to provide good external trading. In addition, a significant area remains unused but may provide further scope for development.

Regional Manager Comments

Canterbury Tales offers a great opportunity for a publican to build further on the huge progress made in recent times establishing the pub as the venue of choice for the local community, plus the wider and heavily supported bands that regularly play there. I am seeking a publican whether experienced or new to the trade who can grow the opportunity. I am here to help guide and advise you along your business venture.
