The Kings Arms, Carnforth
The Kings Arms is a large historic grade II listed three storey pub nestled in the heart of the scenic market town of Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria. The town attracts many tourists from far and wide due to its unspoilt nature, high quality independent shops, historic charm and its fantastic restaurants, cafes and bars. The Kings Arms is at the forefront of this being a well-loved pub with tables fully booked for weeks in advance, particularly in the Summer months. Its close proximity to the Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland, Lake District in the respective counties of North Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria make Kirkby Lonsdale an ideal and idyllic place to stay when visiting the beautiful surrounding countryside and the Kings Arms provides three charming cottages for tourists to base their travels from. Situated on the busy high street the Kings Arms is in an enviable position to attract both locals and tourists. The building itself dates from the middle of the 16th century but was trading as an inn from the early 17th century onwards. The pub retains many of the original features including a huge ‘inlgenook’ fireplace which is reportedly the largest working example in Cumbria.
Pub Layout
Upon entering off Kirkby Lonsdale’s historic high street customers are welcomed in to an open plan bar and dining area. The pub oozes historic charm yet the trade area brings a contemporary modern twist tastefully blended with its original features. The gorgeous well stocked bar runs to the left-hand side opposite that opulent original fireplace. The bright and stylish décor is incredibly welcoming and relaxing, and the mash-up between traditional and modern flows through to the food offer as well; a menu of British gastro pub fayre with contemporary flair and epicurean fine dining. The pub benefits from a delightfully decorated high-ceilinged upstairs room which can either be used for private dining or for extra dining space when really busy. Three cottages to the rear of the pub are fully booked by tourists over the summer months and these are elegantly decorated and furnished to a high standard. Also to the rear is an enclosed courtyard area, a beautiful place to sit and enjoy a refreshing pint or a local tipple.

I’m looking for a licensee who is passionate about providing a top-quality food offer; higher end gastro food at weekends and more sedate casual dining during the week. Any prospective licensee must be confident in being able to provide this with consistent quality and service. A warm and friendly welcome must await those customers who pass over the threshold and must leave desperate to visit again. The Kings Arms is all about quality of offer so a great knowledge of drinks and how to serve them is essential. Cocktails, ice cold gin & tonics, great tasting beers all perfectly served is key here. The ability to market the three letting rooms through booking websites and social media along with extending the use of the function room can bring in additional income. Particularly during the summer this is a busy and bustling pub so anyone who takes over the Kings Arms needs to be confident, hardworking, and able to provide fantastic service all day every day.
