The planned refurbishment will transform the Sneyd Arms into a premium local pub, with a particular focus on food, comfort and clearly defined trading areas. The estimated investment value is £125,000, with works focused on the internal trading space, upgraded private accommodation and external decoration, signage and lighting to improve kerb appeal.

The refurbishment will create three clearly defined customer areas: a locals’ bar, a snug and a dining area. This zoning will help the pub serve different occasions throughout the week, from relaxed drinks at the bar to cosy catch-ups in the snug and more structured dining occasions in the main dining space.

The scheme will over-index towards dining and the food occasion, with the proposed trading layout increasing internal covers from 93 to 108. The updated layout will create a stronger platform for a premium food offer, supported by a refreshed look and feel, comfortable furniture, improved décor and a warmer overall atmosphere.

The locals’ bar will provide a welcoming space for regulars and casual drinkers, while the snug will create a more intimate area for smaller groups. The dining area will be central to the pub’s new direction, giving customers a clear reason to visit for quality food in a comfortable, premium local setting.

This venue will have a touch of live music and entertainment to draw in the local demographic, while keeping the main focus on food, drink quality and community appeal. The drinks range will include premium lagers and ciders, a premium WSM range and coffee, helping the pub trade across different dayparts.

Externally, refreshed decoration, signage and lighting will help signal the investment and improve the pub’s roadside appeal. The private accommodation will also be refurbished, supporting the overall opportunity for the right licensee.

The Sneyd Arms is ideally placed to rebuild its reputation in the local community. The refurbishment will modernise the pub, improve the layout, strengthen the dining offer and create a more premium customer experience. With no direct pub competition within a 10-minute walk, the Sneyd Arms has an opportunity to become a go-to local pub for Keele residents, university-related trade and customers from the surrounding area.
