Job description

The Mitre is available on our Management Agreement, Just Add Talent. It combines our tried-and-tested pub concept with industry-leading training and support for you and your team. Click here for more information on Just Add Talent.

This is your opportunity to run a ready-made pub with no utilities, stock, rent or maintenance costs. We also supply ready-to-go till, stock ordering and health & safety systems. You can rest assured knowing that we do the detail, so you can Think Bigger.

If you’ve got the talent to manage a team, deliver great service, and know your local community, this is your chance to build a successful pub business.

So, what would you do with the Mitre to drive forward our pub concept?

About the pub

The Mitre is a welcoming community pub, providing great value drinks and a friendly space for loyal locals to meet and enjoy everyday get togethers.

A full refurbishment of this pub is planned to help you drive trade. Applicants should be aware that all refurbishments are subject to final board approval which will be determined as part of the leasing process.

The pub occupies a town centre location in Stourbridge, with around 3,500 adults living within a 10-minute walk and many more travelling into the town. It sits within a busy hospitality area offering a range of different venues, giving the Mitre the opportunity to stand out through its community focus, quality drinks and strong entertainment programme.

Previously known for its traditional, value-led and drinks-focused offer, the pub has the potential to attract a broader and more diverse customer base while remaining firmly driven by local trade. Its proximity to a college also creates an opportunity to engage a younger audience.

The offer

The Mitre will be a wet-led pub serving a quality drinks range, supported by a limited coffee offer. Entertainment and events will be crucial to the overall offer, with the pub’s function space creating opportunities for live entertainment, community activities, private events and a varied year-round programme.

Trade will be driven through:

• A quality and good-value drinks range
• Regular entertainment and events
• Community engagement
• Use of the dedicated function space
• A separate games and sports area
• Activity aimed at the nearby college audience
• An attractive and welcoming town centre venue

We're also really interested to hear your ideas on how you would drive trade.

Who we're looking for

Attitude is more valuable than experience. If you’ve got the following, we’d love to hear from you.

• You’re enthusiastic and you have what it takes to deliver great retail standards.
• You love hospitality and are great with customers.
• You can bring creativity to build a year-round calendar of events that keeps customers coming back.
• You have the experience and confidence to relaunch and establish a prominent town centre pub.
• You know the local community and you can create a safe and warm welcoming atmosphere where neighbours, friends and family all feel at home.
