MAJOR REFURBISHMENT JUST COMPLETED
Following a full refurbishment, the Foresters Arms has been transformed into a spectacular pub which will offer great food from a brand new trade kitchen. A major investment of £350k has created a fabulous destination country pub that will also cater for the local guest base. There are multiple zoned areas which have all been refurbished, the bar has been re-modelled, and the kitchen has been improved to cater for the large number of covers (80 covers internally and up to 200 covers outside).
A fantastic new Orangery area has also been created, adding 20-30 covers for private function drinking and dining when required.
Take a look at the plan and the images below to see the layout of this exciting new pub!
“This is a fantastic opportunity for a strong, charismatic Business Partner(s) with loads of entrepreneurial spirit to run a newly refurbished pub with a unique opportunity.
We’re looking for an operator who is willing to put in the hard work and focus on the goals to succeed in achieving an amazing business. Ideally our new BP will be enthusiastic, motivating and passionate and, with our support, will be able to provide amazing hospitality; grow sales; motivate their team through exceptional leadership; and deliver and maintain the high standards required for guests to have an exceptional experience.
We are putting significant investment into this pub and are prepared to give our BP the freedom to express their ideas and implement them. A love of pubs and a strong working knowledge of fresh food is essential to succeed at The Forester’s Arms.”

Kirdford is an idyllic village and civil parish in the Chichester District of West Sussex, near the town of Petworth, located 6.5 miles southwest of the village. Brimming with history and character, Kirdford is home to a Grade I listed 12th century stone-built church of St John The Baptist. The village centre has a recreation ground with a small pavilion, football pitch, tennis court and a stoolball area, as well as a village shop and hall.
Kirdford is on several walking routes and footpaths through the beautiful South Downs National Park, as well as on routes for cycling and horse riding.
This is a great opportunity. Could this be the pub to rent for you?
This quaint, traditional village pub will offer a varied and delicious menu with the opportunity to have BBQs in the summer and regular theme nights. The Foresters will be renowned known for its home-cooked food and friendly atmosphere. The pub will be a focal part of the village community and will have a characterful interior, with wooden beams, stone and brick floors and a beautiful inglenook fireplace.
The relaxed village bar at the front of the pub will have 20 covers, with a further 40 covers in the more formal restaurant area to the rear,and another 20 in the Orangery, which will also serve as an excellent function room.
The pub will boast a spacious, well-equipped kitchen, and a beautiful, extensive, but easily maintained, rear garden.
Trade opportunities are open for the new Business Partner to capitalise on, but traditionally the Foresters Arms has had a strong community presence and a well respected food offering. Currently the pub’s guest base includes couples, food enthusiasts, families, independent diners/drinkers, and regulars, with the chance of a local celebrity stopping by too!

FMT is the level of turnover and profit that we believe that the business is capable of delivering if being operated competently. The FMT is usually calculated by the Business Development Partner for the pub to rent, who will produce a shadow profit and loss account for the business which supports the rent. A copy of the shadow profit and loss account will be provided during the recruitment process.
Please see our Code of Practice for more information on FMT and rent. The Fair Maintainable Trade is not a guarantee of levels of trade or profit that will be made from the business – we strongly recommend you seek appropriate independent legal and business advice as part of your Business Plan.
The Full Investment Breakdown for each public house is higher than the minimum investment we will accept. This is because potential Business Partners with the minimum investment available can still be accepted as we are able to offer them financial support for the rest of the monies.
The working capital incorporates the purchase of stock, glassware, loose catering effects and valuer fees – please note the number quoted on this website are based on estimates. The exact costs will be determined on the day you take on the public house by independent valuers and stock takers. Please see our Code of Practice for more information about investment.
