Property details
The Foresters Arms is a well-positioned corner pub in the area of Barnards Green, Great Malvern. Sat in the centre of a highly sought-after area with high ABC1 demographics, this pub offers the right operator a fantastic opportunity to develop this site and create a quality local. It is the only pub in the immediate area of Barnards Green that sits on the edge of Great Malvern, at the foot of the Malvern Hills. It currently trades predominantly focusing on drinks with a heavy emphasis on pub sports, however, we feel that the Foresters has more to offer the community.
The Foresters comprises a one-room bar with a small drinking/dining area off the main bar area. There is space for approximately 30 covers, but with some additional seating, this could be increased to 40 and still remain comfortable. There is also a small games room although it’s actually too small for a pool table and is currently run down and barely used. The ladies toilets are very small and we are planning to extend them.
At the front of the building, there are benches for outside drinking and this area needs a little bit of a make-over to make it more appealing. To the rear of the pub, there is a small courtyard that needs some love and attention.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, living room, bathroom and toilet and kitchen area.

Trading style
The pub currently trades as a locals’ pub, offering darts, crib, and pool. There is no reason why this pub couldn’t continue to operate in its current form, but a fresh approach to this pub could offer further income to the potential licensee. The landlords are prepared to invest in the pub to develop it, and allow it to appeal to a broader set of customers. The Foresters needs to be a comfortable, inviting pub/bar, for the whole community attracting men and women alike and keeping in with the area of Great Malvern.
The Foresters benefits from a good level of sales and support from its current customers, and the landlords hope that with a sympathetic refurbishment, they can attract new customers and families. This is a super little pub destined for the next stage of its life, and they want a licensee with the passion and energy to drive this to the next level. To help reposition and market the Foresters, it needs to have a strong online presence with great social media interaction with the immediate area. The landlords, with the right licensee, will invest in the pub, including an external decoration and signage scheme. The pub needs a wide range of drinks, including good wines and cask ale, and even a bottled craft ale range to really stand it apart from the competition. Although the pub doesn’t currently have a food offer, they strongly believe the right licensee could incorporate a small back bar food offer to introduce a small basic food offer such as pies, pasties, and maybe a pizza oven.
