Property details
The Rainham Arms is a detached family-friendly pub at the heart of the largest housing estate in Rainham with its main clientele being people who live near and use the pub looking for entertainment, quality drinks, and value food. Benefitting from a large outside area including a car park and patio with lots of seating, it is surrounded by houses and near to local shops, schools, recreation centres, and a train station. Rainham is a town in the suburbs of Gillingham and has great transport links into the city with central London being under an hour away by train.
As you enter through the large double-door entrance you will go through a generous porch and into the large open-plan trade space with the bar directly ahead. To the left is the main area of the bar and games zone which as well as housing a pool table and darts board, also includes entrances to both the gents and a disabled toilet. To the right is set mostly as a food area with a serving counter and more formal seating. At this end of the pub is the ladies toilet and entrance to a small gardened area with a smoking shelter. The entrance to the kitchen is behind the serving area which has undercounter fridges and a storage building to the rear.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, toilet and separate bathroom plus a small office.

Trading style
The pub is currently well supported by locals as the hub of the community trading mostly as a drinking establishment with regular live entertainment and sports available as well as sports teams and local theme nights. With the well-fitted trade kitchen it can also deliver good traditional pub food throughout the week to support this and a popular Sunday dinner is always a welcome treat for the customers. Charity events and community functions are also a big part of the calendar at the Rainham and being central to the local area, really has a key impact on the pub being the regular main feature on these occasions.
This pub needs a community-focused couple who will integrate themselves into local pub life by participating regularly in local events and supporting the area by offering the site as the hub for use by a variety of different social groups. Food needs to continue to be part of the offer at the Rainham and wholesome pub grub needs to be at the forefront of this offering value for money and good customer service to ensure a drive in footfall and drink sales. Social media and marketing will also be key and the new licensee will have a thorough knowledge of this to maximise customer experience.
