Property details

Inside, the ground floor is laid out as a traditional panelled front bar, a comfortable lounge/dining area, a separate pool room and a conservatory, served from a central servery. A catering kitchen with extraction sits behind the trading areas, with a beer cellar, store and boiler room in the basement.
Outside, a beer garden to the side of the pub provides outdoor seating, with a private yard and garden to the rear and parking on site.
The private accommodation is spacious and set over two floors. The first floor comprises a living room, two bedrooms, an office, a kitchen and a shower room; the second floor provides a further living room, three bedrooms (one currently used as a dressing room) and a store.

Experienced Operator
Trading style
The Kings Arms is a well-known, traditional local and a past winner of the Wakefield Express Pub of the Year. Trade is predominantly wet-led, pool and a loyal community following, supported by good-value bar food and Sunday lunch.
There is clear scope for a new operator to grow the business. The lounge/dining area, conservatory and catering kitchen give room to develop a regular food offer beyond Sunday lunch, while the beer garden, quiz and music nights, live sport and community events can rebuild footfall and make the most of the pub’s heritage and standing in the town.
The pub company is looking for an enthusiastic, hands-on operator or couple who can put the Kings Arms back at the heart of Horbury – a characterful community local with real potential to grow.
You may have pub experience, high standards of cellar and cask ale management, and the commercial drive to build trade, including developing the food offer. A warm, visible presence in the community and the confidence to use events and social media to bring in new customers will be key to success. The accommodation suits a couple or partnership living on site, though a capable single operator with support would also thrive.
