Our menu is classic and inclusive, with the dining area accommodating up to 160 guests indoors and an additional 40 outdoors during peak times. A dedicated pizza kitchen is available for takeaway, catering to those on the go.

Expectations

As a food-led business, our pubs operate under Marston's corporate menu. We are looking for self-sufficient hospitality managers with creativity who can drive sales and enhance guest experiences.

In addition to the £5,000 security deposit, candidates must cover legal costs (£360) and their own insurance (excluding building insurance, which we provide). It is also essential to consider team management and employment matters.

Before finalizing the agreement, candidates must demonstrate proof of independent financial advice and complete a sustainable business plan in line with industry standards. Obtaining a personal license and completing induction training is also required.

This is a five-year commitment, allowing ample time to develop the business. However, if needed, there is an option for early termination with a six-month notice period.

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for individuals who are passionate about the hospitality industry and dedicated to providing exceptional service.
