Experienced Operator

The Caxton Arms offers a warm, friendly welcome, and it has the Brighton locals at the heart of its success. It is popular with sports fans, benefits from Sky Sports, and has a loyal following of Brighton football supporters. Darts, bar billiards, board games and traditional pub games help create a strong community feel, while the basement function room with its own bar provides scope for private parties, events, comedy nights and regular local activities throughout the year.

Although primarily wet-led, the pub has solid food foundations, with traditional pub dishes, vegetarian and vegan options, and a strong Sunday lunch offer that is already well received by regular customers.

If you are ready to bring energy, consistency and community spirit to one of Brighton’s well-loved local pubs, then this may be just the opportunity that you are looking for.

The Caxton Arms is available from early December 26, on a traditional tenancy agreement. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced, hands-on operator with the energy, personality and local focus to champion a true community pub. The successful tenant will nurture the existing wet trade, drive a consistent calendar of events, build on the sports and games offer, maximise the private event space and keep Brighton locals engaged. Knowledge of the Brighton area and a genuine passion for community-led hospitality would be a strong advantage.
