Hello
Welcome to The King’s Arms, the beating heart of Wing, Rutland. A pub with a history as rich as its ales, The King’s Arms has been a cherished part of village life for centuries, offering a warm welcome, top-notch food, and the finest local beers and wines.
​
For over 20 years, it thrived under the stewardship of dedicated hosts who made it an award-winning destination. With its eight beautifully appointed guest rooms, a cosy bar and restaurant, and plenty of outdoor seating, it has long been a favourite for locals and visitors alike. However, with the previous tenants having relocated to Cornwall, this beloved establishment is now looking for the right people to take it on and help write its next exciting chapter.
A Pub at the Heart of the Village
​
Nestled in the centre of Wing, The King’s Arms occupies a prime half-acre plot, complete with a spacious car park and charming outdoor seating. Whether it’s a sunny afternoon pint in the garden or a hearty meal by the fire, this is a place where memories are made. The pub has long been a hub for village events, Friday night drinks, and special gatherings, playing a vital role in the social fabric of the community.
​
A Destination for Locals and Tourists
​
Rutland is a magnet for visitors, drawing in over 1.5 million tourists annually, thanks to its idyllic countryside, historic sites, and outdoor activities. From the cycling and sailing adventures of Rutland Water to the equestrian excitement of Burghley Horse Trials, there’s no shortage of reasons to visit. The King’s Arms is perfectly positioned to serve this steady stream of visitors, offering high-quality accommodation and a welcoming retreat for weary travellers.
​
The Opportunity
​
Despite its rich history and loyal following, The King’s Arms is currently in transition, presenting an exciting opportunity for a new owner to revitalise its offering. The space itself offers a range of options for hosting. As well as the bar itself, it has a range of restaurant space, a cellar, 8 rooms, as well as staff accommodation. With the right vision, it could easily join the ranks of Rutland’s most successful gastropubs, standing proudly alongside renowned establishments like The Olive Branch in Clipsham and The Fox in North Luffenham.
​
A Community Ready to Support
​
Wing is a close-knit and prosperous village and locals are keen to see The King’s Arms flourish once more. Many of the previous staff members have expressed interest in returning, and the village continues to rally around its pub with regular events and local support. The potential for growth is significant - whether through extended opening hours, an expanded menu, or a refreshed marketing approach.
​
Be Part of the Next Chapter
​
The King’s Arms isn’t just a pub - it’s a piece of living history, a cornerstone of the community, and a business brimming with opportunity. Whether you’re an investor looking for a prestigious acquisition, an experienced publican ready for your next venture, or a community member eager to see the pub thrive, now is the time to act.
