Once the planned works are complete, the Bute Arms will showcase a refreshed, contemporary décor complete with new or revamped fixtures & fitting and soft finishes throughout. Currently the pub has a contemporary feel with lots of natural finishes in wood, whilst retaining some rustic traditional features including ceiling beams, exposed stone walls and a fire place in the back area adds a cosy, welcoming feel.

The current layout consists of an open plan trading area with a lounge to the front and a galley type bar as the focal point. A larger area with a modern-style bar is situated at the back, which would be perfect as a distinct dining area. In addition there is a games room with table football game.

Externally the pub will undergo a facelift which will see much improved kerb appeal through a new lighting & signage scheme.

Applicants should be aware that all refurbishments are subject to final board approval which will be determined as part of the leasing process.
Where a significant investment is made in a pub by Star Pubs & Bars, an "Investment Exemption" will be required. The exemption means that the option of a Market Rent Option lease won't be available at rent review for a period of up to seven years for this site, as per The Pub Code (2016).

The private accommodation consists of bedrooms, kitchen & bathroom and a lounge and where required there will be appropriate works carried out in line with the Star Pubs & Bars Ready to Trade Promise.
