Lease A Pub In Southampton – Run The Drummond Arms
The Drummond Arms is a large community pub, located in a prominent position on the corner of Welbeck Avenue and Somerset Road in Portswood, Southampton. The pub is situated in a densely populated area of Southampton, very close to the Southampton University campus and also Southampton Common. The pub is surrounded by residential housing, with a mixture of private and student occupiers. Architecturally there are some nice touches with oval arches through to the games area and matching window lattices.
Pub Layout
The main trade area of the Drummond is spacious and dominated by the central bar servery, visible to the customer from the front entrance. There is a games area to the right rear of the bar with pool table, gaming machines and darts board which is regularly utilised by the local darts team. The trade kitchen is conveniently accessed through a door to the right of the bar. There is a fantastic beer garden at the back of the pub, arguably one of the best in Southampton, which is accessible from the games area and front trade room. The garden is a huge asset, with a raised lawn, terrace barbeque area and additional terraced space with pergola and bench seating lower down.

Admiral Taverns are seeking an experienced, community focussed licensee, who will be able to connect with the locals and also the student population in Portswood . They will also need to have the ability to unlock the untapped growth potential for wet sales and further develop the food offer, with a new and exciting menu. There is also huge potential to grow the food and drink sales from the secluded and well maintained beer garden. The Drummond Arms is a fantastic opportunity to become the hub of the local community, as well as the go to pub for students living in the Portswood Area.
