More about The Lansdowne Arms

The new Business Partners will ideally be experienced, owner operators with a high level of catering skills to deliver a quality food and drink offer. A keen interest in the local community and engaging with events would also be desirable.

This characterful Grade II listed public house sits on the edge of Bowood estate, within the active community of Derry Hill. With three trade gardens, a children's play area to enjoy in the Summer, an open fire and wood burners to warm you up in colder months, this charming pub is welcoming all year round. The bar area was also given a mini refurbishment in 2023.

There is a fantastic opportunity for the successful applicant to continue to develop a strong food and drink offer, through increased marketing activity to attract more customers from the surrounding areas. Here, we would expect to see a 60/40 split in favour of food.
