Achieving our vision.

​1. Transforming the economics

​We hope to purchase The Kings Head as a Community Benefit Society which raises funds via a share offer. Whilst we expect those who invest in shares to receive interest after an initial period, this form of funding should allow a tenant to pay a very reasonable rent for the pub.

​A large number of those who responded to the Save The King Head survey offered their services and many of these have skills which could be put to use helping to maintain the fabric of the buildings and garden. Again, this would help to keep the required rent down.

​Survey responses clearly showed that people would like to see The Kings Head continuing to offer a wide selection of real ales, lagers, cider and wine as well as non-alcoholic beers and ciders, cocktails and ‘Barista’ coffee. Traditional ‘pub grub’ and Sunday lunches were the overwhelming majority vote on the food front.

​Our Business Plan, developed in conjunction with industry experts, shows that even with increased energy costs and changing social norms the Kings Head can be profitably operated in this way.
