Run a Stonegate Pub - Kings Head Thatcham, Berkshire

About the Pub

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.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

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. There is an exciting investment planned here with a £40k cappex scheme to create internal sparkle and a stunning garden.
