The opportunity:
Following its recent investment, the business is well positioned for continued growth. The next operator will have the opportunity to build on an already successful food and drink offer, strengthen the pub's role within the local community and maximise trade around key sporting occasions, family dining and community events. With strong food sales already established, there is clear potential to grow covers, increase repeat visits and further enhance the guest experience.
Who we're looking for:
We're looking for an experienced food-led operator who can deliver excellent standards across both food and drink. You'll have a passion for guest experience, strong commercial awareness and the ability to create a welcoming environment for families, sports fans and local residents alike. The successful operator will be confident leading a team, maintaining operational standards and identifying opportunities to drive further growth.
