Regional Manager's Thoughts

The Dog & Gun is the only pub in the village with many customers visiting to enjoy fresh, home-cooked food or a casual drink in the well-kept beer garden. This is a very busy pub and therefore needs a publican with experience, a strong vision and personality. Experience within food and catering would be an advantage.
