The Gladstone Arms is situated in the heart of the bustling market town of Chippenham and occupies a prominent position close to the town centre. Chippenham benefits from strong local footfall, a growing residential population, and good transport links, making this an attractive opportunity for an experienced operator.
The pub is a well-presented, detached public house offering a flexible trading layout. Internally, the pub comprises a dedicated bar area with approximately 30 covers and a separate restaurant area with seating for around 50 covers. Both areas were refurbished in 2025 and are presented to a high standard. The restaurant space is well-suited to functions, celebrations, wakes, and private hire. The restaurant benefits from direct access to the large, enclosed beer garden, a real asset during the summer months and capable of comfortably accommodating over 100 customers. The fully equipped catering kitchen supports a strong food-led offer and provides scope for further development, including functions and private events.
Key Features
The beer garden is a proven draw in good weather and offers significant potential for events, promotions, and seasonal trading.
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a lounge/diner, a kitchen and a bathroom.
The Gladstone Arms currently operates with a quality food-led offer, with wet sales driven primarily by dining customers. There is clear scope to further develop the bar trade by creating a more drinker-focused offer alongside the existing food business.
A structured “Rhythm of the Week” and extended opening hours would help drive weekday trade and maximise revenue. Experience of cask ale is desirable, and a Personal Licence is essential.
This opportunity would ideally suit an experienced, hands-on couple looking to build on an established food business while growing wet sales. Applicants should demonstrate:
