Romiley Arms

The Romiley Arms presents a standout opportunity to take on a Hive franchise at the centre of Romiley, positioned beside the railway station and surrounded by well‑loved local landmarks including the village theatre, St.

Chad’s Church, the Peak Forest Canal and the characterful Romiley Folds. The pub already benefits from a spacious layout with large trading areas, cosy snugs, generous gardens and even a bowling green, creating an adaptable setting for everyday community use and lively social occasions. A full refurbishment is planned to revitalise the venue and re‑establish it as a true community hub, bringing fresh energy while honouring its place at the heart of the village. The Hive model makes this an appealing prospect for someone ready to run a warm, engaging and modern pub with strong backing behind them. Success here calls for an operator who is naturally community‑minded, committed to high standards and passionate about service. A confident caterer who enjoys hosting sport and live music will be well‑placed to build the Romiley Arms into a welcoming destination for locals, couples and families alike. Key facts • Upfront cost: £5,000 • Forecasted operator turnover: £663,000 Entry costs Entry cost of £5000 is payable on change day. This includes legal fees and start up training costs.
