Property details
The Dicken Arms is situated in the beautiful market town of Wem in Shropshire. Wem is just nine miles from Shrewsbury and has its own railway station linking to Crewe and Shrewsbury however, some long-distance services to Manchester Piccadilly, Cardiff Central, Swansea, Carmarthen, and Milford Haven also stop at the station during peak times. The pub is situated just off the main high street and is surrounded by local amenities.
The internal accommodation is laid out into a U-shaped one-room operation providing a bar, lounge, and games area which includes a pool table and darts board.

Trading style
The pub is very much a community focussed which is well supported by multigenerational, loyal daytime drinkers. The bar is well stocked with a vast range of products including cask ale and has space for a pie oven which offers a bar snack menu. There is a darts team that provides a boost to midweek trade and music such as karaoke and live acts has been popular at the weekends. A strong rhythm of the week would be encouraged to include quiz nights and an entertainment programme.
The Dickin Arms is a great pub that needs a great ‘local’ operator to make it into a successful pub. It is close to the main shopping area and there are plenty of local workers within a short walking distance. The landlords need licensees with enthusiasm who are going to work hard to make the Dickin Arms into a fantastic community pub. They must have great standards and be prepared to work hard and to promote pub activities eg sports/entertainment etc through various social media platforms. A strong entertainment programme is essential alongside good marketing skills and a can-do attitude.
