Job Details

• F&F rental option available. A refurbishment investment of around £220,000 is planned to transform The Cottage Inn into a premium local pub to attract both drinkers and families dining out, including the creation of a brand-new kitchen to support a stronger food offer.
• What would you do with this pub to make it a success?
• The Area: The Cottage is situated in the heart of Kingswinford, just off the main busy high street. Stourbridge is three miles away and Dudley is four miles away. It's in the heart of a small town with plenty of footfall from shoppers and locals alike, and there are other pubs just a few doors up.
• Demographics: The pub benefits from good demographics with medium affluence in the area. There's strong local competition, but also demand for a good pub food offer - something The Cottage can provide with cask ales, real fires, a cosy setting and a newly created kitchen designed to help deliver a quality dining experience.
• The Offer: The Cottage is available on our investment tenancy agreement. The pub has great kerb appeal, with a superb location off the main high street, offering an operator a great opportunity to capitalize on local trade. It has a good reputation and benefits from a small rear drinks patio, perfect for use in warmer months. With a completely refurbished venue set to deliver a modern yet cosy interior, an upgraded dining area and a brand-new kitchen, the pub's welcoming bar will stand out in the local area and be known for its hand-pulled cask ales. We're always open to new ideas — what would you do to drive trade?
• If you've benefited from running or owning a pub business, we'd love to hear what experience you can bring.
• The right operator for The Cottage will have extensive experience in food hospitality. They'll have a clear vision for their food and drinks menu and know how to create memorable experiences for their customers. A strong understanding of the local area will be essential, alongside the ability to make full use of the newly created kitchen and develop a compelling food offer.
