Located in the Tonbridge and Malling district of Kent, the Joiners Arms is a community-led pub and restaurant with four letting bedrooms, set in a prominent high street spot in the market town of West Malling. Situated on the River Bourne and surrounded by the beautiful Kent countryside, parks and green spaces, West Malling is an historic market town with a rich history dating back to Roman times.
The diverse town houses many historic buildings and landmarks, including the 11th-century St. Mary’s Abbey, which is now a popular tourist attraction, together with a busy centre full of shops, cafes and restaurants, which hosts a weekly farmers market selling fresh produce and handmade crafts. West Malling and the surrounding area continues to see development and infrastructure changes locally and it serves as a desirable commuter zone near to London. Positioned in a busy, high profile and footfall area, the Joiners Arms offers the perfect platform for a hands-on operator with vision and energy, to relaunch the food and accommodation elements of the business and run a vibrant, high street operation.
Internally, the Joiners Arms features a U-shaped trade area centred around a feature servery with open plan drinking and dining space for approx.50 covers, together with a compact trade kitchen. Upstairs, on the first floor of the property you will find four double ensuite letting bedrooms, two with in-room limestone baths, that provide excellent scope to attract a range of year-round commercial and leisure guests. Outside, you will find tables and chairs to the front of the property and small courtyard garden to the rear of the site that provides private access for hotel guests when the pub is closed, along with plentiful street side customer parking. The second floor of the property has been part converted to include a self-contained studio-style flat with bathroom, which has previously been utilised by live-in managers. The Joiners Arms is available in early July 26 on the standard tenancy model and it is looking for a driven, hands-on operator that can re-establish the Joiners Arms as a must-visit destination in West Malling high street.
