A little bit about the opportunity…

Right in the Heart of Lincoln – The William Foster

Tucked just off Lincoln’s vibrant High Street, in the thick of the city’s main shopping scene, The William Foster is a buzzing, welcoming People’s Pub that truly has something for everyone.

Whether it’s a laid-back lunch, a catch-up over drinks, or the start of a big night out, we’ve got it covered. By day, we’re all about relaxed vibes and great value. By night, we turn up the energy – becoming the go-to spot to meet, mingle, and make memories.

Lincoln’s star is on the rise, drawing in students, young professionals, and a fresh new crowd – and The William Foster is right at the centre of that growth. With a strong Stonegate presence in the area, we’re more than just a pub – we’re part of the city’s social fabric.

Sport? We do it right – with a solid reputation for top-tier viewing, from live Sky Sports to big-screen action, all backed by brilliant drinks deals. We’re proud to be a true People’s Pub, offering timeless classics like darts and pool, alongside quiz nights, free pool sessions, and the occasional live act to keep things exciting.

And come Friday and Saturday night, the energy shifts again – our resident DJs take over, spinning all the party favourites and giving our guests the perfect weekend vibe.

We’re now on the lookout for a passionate, hands-on General Manager to lead the charge. You’ll be the heartbeat of the business – setting the tone, driving high standards, nurturing and inspiring your team every step of the way. If you’re ready to bring pride, personality, and leadership to a pub loved by locals, this is your moment.
