Job Description:

The pub experiences high tourist traffic in summer and remains attractive year-round due to nearby attractions like the Castle and Bowes Museum. It features a central bar servicing the main area and pool room, a covered smoking area, a large beer garden, 7 letting rooms, and a catering kitchen. Currently, it generates about £6,000 weekly, mostly from drinks, with potential to increase to £10,000 by expanding food offerings and boosting drinks sales.

We seek licensees who can connect with the local community, increase sales, and realize the pub's full potential.
