Caxton Arms

If you are ready to bring energy, consistency and community spirit to one of Brighton’s well-loved local pubs, then this may be just the opportunity that you are looking for.

The Caxton Arms is a well-established, lively and wet-led community pub located in the sought-after seaside city of Brighton, East Sussex. Set on North Gardens in a residential area, it is just a few minutes’ walk from Brighton’s main train station and close to the city centre, making it well placed to attract regular local trade, commuters, visitors and event-goers.

Brighton is one of the South Coast’s most vibrant seaside destinations, known for its energetic nightlife, creative culture, year-round events and strong local community. With excellent transport links, a busy visitor economy and a loyal residential base, it offers the right operator the chance to build a thriving pub business with broad appeal.

The Caxton Arms offers a warm, friendly welcome and it has the Brighton locals at the heart of its success. It is popular with sports fans, benefits from Sky Sports, and has a loyal following of Brighton football supporters. Darts, bar billiards, board games and traditional pub games help create a strong community feel, while the basement function room with its own bar provides scope for private parties, events, comedy nights and regular local activities throughout the year.

Although primarily wet-led, the pub has solid food foundations, with traditional pub dishes, vegetarian and vegan options, and a strong Sunday lunch offer that is already well received by regular customers.

The Caxton Arms is arranged over three floors. The ground floor features the main open-plan bar, a characterful servery, trading space for around 60 covers and a fully equipped trade kitchen. At basement level, there is a private function room with its own bar, offering around 30 seated covers or 50 standing, along with office space.

Outside, the pub benefits from a small, quirky basement-level courtyard garden with an outside toilet, which is well frequented by the locals.

The tenant’s private accommodation is situated on the second floor of the property and includes two double bedrooms, a lounge and a bathroom.

The Caxton Arms is available in early December 26, on a traditional tenancy agreement. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced, hands-on operator with the energy, personality and local focus to champion a true community pub. The successful tenant will nurture the existing wet trade, drive a consistent calendar of events, build on the sports and games offer, maximise the private event space and keep Brighton locals engaged. Knowledge of the Brighton area and a genuine passion for community-led hospitality would be a strong advantage.
