Job description

Job Type: Leased & Tenancy, Run a Pub, Pub Manager

Sector: Pubs and Bars

Contract Type: Full Time

Pub Layout

The entrance to the pub is from the rear, as you enter there is a “snug” bar with fixed seating and presents a cosy atmosphere. Next to this is the main bar area where there is window seating and tables featuring an original fireplace. As you go further through the pub, there is another space that can accommodate a few tables and then leads into the second bar area at the front of the pub. These two spaces would be ideal for the restaurant side of the business. Externally there is a large garden, outside toilets and a smaller garden area to the side of the pub. There are investment plans to build a covered walkway to both sets of toilets and enhance the already covered seating area by utilising the outbuilding that will then create a fantastic extended drinking opportunity for all year round.

Trading Style

The pub previously traded as a wet/dry community-led pub. There is an opportunity to re-engage with the local village and surrounding area and re-launch this pub, building on the current mid-market offer with a great locally sourced menu, real ales, modern brands and a strong wine and spirits offer.

Accommodation

The private accommodation consists of three double bedrooms, a bathroom with toilet & shower, and a large lounge. There is no domestic kitchen but there is a fully fitted commercial kitchen downstairs that can be utilised.

Annual Rent: £24,000 (Start-up rent of £100 per week (net) available)

Tie: All drinks categories are tied. For fully funded licensees on long-term agreements, we offer free-of-tie options for certain drinks categories in exchange for an annual fee.

BDM Vision

Admiral Taverns are looking to recruit someone with the vision to embrace this great opportunity to re-engage with the local village and surrounding area and re-launch this pub in the local marketplace. Any new operator will need to be experienced and have a food background to match the demographics. Our plan is to re-establish the pub at the heart of the community. You will need a strong marketing and re-launch package to promote the planned transformational external focused capex scheme.

Future Plans

We will look to re-brand and modernise the pub with a covered walkway to the outside toilets and then enhance and improve the outside drinking with an extended, sheltered, well-lit and heated area that will likely be the most popular area of the pub going forward.
