Company

Overview:

The Kings Head is a characterful village pub in Yarm with a loyal local customer base and plenty of untapped potential. Known for its welcoming atmosphere and traditional pub appeal, it attracts local residents looking for a great place to socialise and unwind. Currently trading at approximately £7,500 per week from wet sales alone, this is an exciting opportunity for an operator to introduce their own food offer and drive further growth.

The business:

The pub offers a traditional trading environment with around 50 covers, creating the perfect setting for a quality food and drink business. Supported by an established local reputation and strong wet sales, the site benefits from consistent trade and a clear opportunity to broaden its appeal. Key strengths include its loyal community following, strong wet-led foundations and the ability to introduce a food offer tailored to the local market.

The opportunity:

The next operator has the chance to unlock the pub's full potential by launching their own menu and developing a sustainable food-and-drink business. The strongest growth priorities are introducing a classic pub food offer, increasing wet sales through events and activity, and attracting new customers while retaining the pub's loyal local trade. There is potential to grow sales by approximately £1,500 per week in both wet and food sales.

Who we’re looking for:

We're looking for an ambitious operator, couple or team with high standards, a drive to succeed and the passion to maximise the food opportunity. Experience in food-led hospitality would be advantageous, with the confidence to introduce a popular pub grub menu and build a reputation for quality food alongside the existing drink trade.

What’s in it for you?

20% share of weekly wet sales excluding VAT, and keep 100% of any food sales. Low ingoing costs start with a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal cost. Separate owner's accommodation is included, with most bills covered except council tax and TV Licence.

Ready to take the next step?

Run The Kings Head and transform a successful wet-led pub into a thriving food-and-drink destination at the heart of the local community. If you're ready to put your own stamp on a village pub with genuine growth potential, enquire today.
