Butchers Arms

Property Description

The Butchers Arms is a substantial grade two listed pub set in the heart of Carhampton, a picturesque North Somerset Village, which is a 10 minute drive away from the Famous Seaside resort of Minehead. This well presented property boasts many original features, it has 4 letting rooms, a skittle alley and extensive gardens and additional land at the rear of the Pub. The pub offers and excellent business opportunity for the new Publicans to develop all areas. The letting rooms are well presented but could be invested in, the beer garden and additional land is an area which definitely needs developing. The Pub needs someone who can demonstrate strong marketing skills as this business is very seasonal.

Private Accommodation: The spacious private accommodation is accessed from the rear via the private garden and well presented throughout. It comprises a master bedroom with luxury en-suite, three further bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, laundry room, bathroom and separate toilet.

Trading Style

Indoor trading area

There are several trading areas on the ground floor accessed by the main door. The bar servery has a traditional ‘olde worlde’ feel with a comfortable lounge area and seating for 38 covers whilst a separate restaurant consists of 24 covers and is ideal for relaxing and enjoying the diverse food offering. This could double as a function room but is not closed off from the rest of the site. There is a spacious and well-equipped trade kitchen, used for both the restaurant and the main bar. The function room to the rear of the pub is often utilised for various events throughout the year and has a pool table and seating for 30 covers. This pub also benefits from four en-suite letting rooms, comprising two double bedrooms, a family room for four and another large room for five people with its own mini kitchen.

Outdoor trading area

The spacious beer garden equipped with children’s play area, raised patio and bench seating for up to 60 covers provides the perfect spot to develop an alfresco dining offer for the summer months. There are two car parks, one to the side of the pub with 16 spaces and the other directly across the road with space for 20 vehicles. Both areas are well sign posted and there is a separate private garden/orchard for the publican to enjoy.

Regional Manager Comments

The Butchers Arms is a traditional community local, offering regulars and guests a vibrant atmosphere and environment in which to socialise and unwind. This is a multi-revenue business that benefits from tourists and passing trade, drawing people in with its large beer garden, good reputation for food and four En-Suite letting rooms used for B&B purposes. There is potential to generate additional income by marketing these key features further to tourists. I am interested in speaking to new starters with fresh ideas looking to start a new venture within the industry. Good catering and marketing skills and being able to demonstrate strong cost controls will be essential due to the seasonality of this business.
