The Hankridge Arms stands in the middle of the thriving Hankridge Retail Park and attracts shoppers and business professionals from the many nearby offices. National retail giants such as Sainsbury’s, Halfords, PC World, Costa, The Range, and others surround the pub. At the far end of the retail park, visitors can enjoy a multiplex cinema, ten-pin bowling, B&Q, McDonald’s, and a Travelodge. Across the road, a business park hosts numerous professional offices, a Premier Inn, and a Harvester restaurant. Conveniently located just off Junction 25 of the M5, the pub sits less than a 10-minute drive from Taunton’s town center.

The current business model unusually demonstrates that weekday lunchtimes are some of the busiest sessions of the week, reflecting the Hankridge’s unique location and genuinely eclectic mixture of guests.

“The ideal applicants will be experienced operators able to demonstrate the ability to run a multi-faceted business serving a wide cross-section of guests. We’re looking for Business Partners who will be able to market the business effectively, and promote the pub and its offer to the thousands of retail park visitors.

Energy and drive will be major qualities required in running this business, which has the opportunity to trade from breakfast (the Travelodge next door is without a breakfast offer), through the day (for shoppers and business people) and on to late dinners (as there is a cinema and bowling alley in the retail park).”

Misrepresentation

*Fair Maintainable Trade (FMT):

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.

Code of Practice:

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:

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.

***Working Capital:

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.

****Business Rates Payable:

This figure reflects the current multipliers for 2025/2026 and the 40% hospitality relief, effective until 31/03/2026.
