Experienced Operator

Trading style

This is a small community pub within the town centre so benefits from regular and passing trade. It requires an experienced operator with a solid background in managing pubs.

The ideal operator should prioritise focussing on the current customer base whilst also ensuring they capitalise on the passing trade from the shopping centre next year and also an influx of offshore workers. They should be able to create a welcoming and fun atmosphere. They will also be able to drive that late-night trade and utilise the late licence that the pub benefits from.
