Property details
The King's Arms is a well-established pub directly on the A120 at Broad Green, between Coggeshall and Marks Tey, about 7 miles from Colchester. With passing trade on a busy road and easy access to the A12 and mainline stations at Marks Tey and Kelvedon. The pub is moments from historic Coggeshall, home to the National Trust's Paycocke's House and Grange Barn. Markshall Estate Arboretum is under 3 miles away, and a string of wedding venues are close by. It's a ready-made audience for rooms, food and celebrations.
The site has been heavily invested in by the owner. It offers 10 letting rooms, a 42-cover restaurant, about 1.5 acres of outside space, free car parking and an events area for up to 100, all free of any brewery tie. It has been recently refurbished and is ready for a tenant to build on.
Externally, the large garden is currently under-utilised and offers real potential. The beer garden and covered outdoor area can serve as an events space, with wedding potential.
The private accommodation consists of a management flat with one bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen/living room. Attractive country views.

Trading style
The Kings Arms trade is currently well below what the facilities and catchment can support. The right tenant will raise day-to-day standards and consistency, build food and room trade (including breakfast and midweek stays), make full use of the garden and events space for functions and weddings, and market the pub to local customers, passing traffic and visitors to the area. In return, they will have the owner's full support, and where they see real proactivity, the owner is ready to invest further.
The Owners are looking for a hands-on operator who will be at the site, either an individual or a couple, trading personally or through their own company. You'll need good business acumen and a genuine hospitality background. This could be your first venture into running your own business, but you must be able to show you can run a food-and-rooms operation, market it well, and manage the numbers.
Essential:
- A proven hospitality background, such as managing or running a pub, hotel, or restaurant
- Budgeting, margins, and staffing costs
- Strong marketing, including social media and online reviews
- Leadership and people management
- Very personable
- A personal licence, or willingness to obtain one before taking over
- Food hygiene qualifications
Key drivers: letting rooms (midweek and breakfast), food from lunch to Sunday trade, events and weddings, passing A120 traffic, and use of the 1.5 acres.
The offer needed: a consistent, good-quality food offer, well-presented rooms with a proper breakfast, a bar that supports the food, and a programme of events, functions, and wedding packages, all backed by steady marketing.
