About the pub

The Paisley Pear is a contemporary premium pub and restaurant located between Brackley and Silverstone, offering an exciting opportunity for an ambitious General Manager to lead a high-profile destination business. Built just six years ago, this modern venue combines a quality food and drink offer with a 46‑bedroom hotel, creating multiple revenue streams and a diverse customer base.

Its prime location makes it a popular meeting point for guests travelling from across the region, while its proximity to Silverstone attracts motorsport enthusiasts and a strong corporate trade. The adjoining hotel benefits from regular business from companies visiting the Silverstone area, providing significant opportunities to further grow occupancy, increase average room rates, and enhance the overall guest experience.

Currently generating weekly sales of approximately £64,000, split evenly between food and drink (40% each) with rooms contributing a further 20%, the Paisley Pear offers substantial scope for a commercially minded General Manager to drive performance. Success will come from maximising hotel revenue, delivering exceptional food and drink standards, and creating memorable guest experiences through outstanding service and operational excellence.

To support the role, a spacious three‑bedroom accommodation package is included, making this an attractive opportunity for a leader ready to take a thriving premium business to the next level.
