Property details
The Froddington Arms is a large pub prominently located on the busy Fratton road between Fratton and Southsea. It attracts a great deal of passing trade both on foot and by road, being minutes from Fratton train station and having a busy high street of shops on its doorstep. There is also a core group of loyal local customers who frequent the pub. The site is located very close to Fratton Park Football Ground and the train station making it the hub for home supporters for all the Portsmouth Football Club home games. There are lots of amenities nearby including Portsmouth University and the halls of residence making the Froddington ideally located for all sections of the community.
The trade accommodation comprises a large open-plan area designed around a long L-shaped bar. The trading area is segregated, with a pool and sports area at one end, and carpeted dining and casual drinking area at the other. The fully equipped commercial kitchen is located behind the bar servery. The toilets are located at the back of the pub.
There is also an attractive, fully enclosed outside area to the rear and side of the property, accessed either from the pub or the main road.
The private accommodation is split over two floors and consists of a bathroom, kitchen, lounge, and three large bedrooms. There is also a large function room which, due to fire access, cannot be used for business purposes.

Trading style
The Froddington is a very busy pub and is achieving excellent figures through drink sales. This is due to strong links with Fratton Park / Portsmouth Football Club but also due to the regular entertainment programme which includes live music and karaoke most weekend evenings (the pub is popular with local ska music fans). It is home to numerous sports teams including both pool and darts playing at home on weekday evenings. The pub also supports numerous charity events making it a very popular community pub. The Froddington also has BT sports and a good cask ale offering. There is scope to develop sales even further with a commercial kitchen just behind the bar servery that is currently not in use. This can be commissioned with minimal cost and effort so that the pub can offer anything from breakfast, lunchtime snacks, and take-away hot dogs, burgers, and pizzas both pre-and post-football games.
The Froddington has a huge amount of potential that just needs to be unleashed. It is located in a very busy vibrant area with lots of footfall and reasons to visit. It is supported massively by Portsmouth FC and has all the facilities to make it one of the best pubs in Portsmouth. The landlords need a licensee who has a strong interest in football and is community focussed. They are seeking a dynamic retailer with excellent/uncompromising retail standards, customer service, and communication, who will be able to grow both wet and dry sales and ensure The Froddington Arms is the go-to pub in Fratton and surrounding areas.
