Trading style
The Royal Standard pub is primed to be a vibrant community hub, offering an impressive line-up of top-quality products alongside weekly promotions that provide excellent value. There’s a great opportunity to expand midweek activities with quiz nights, bingo, and other games, attracting a consistent crowd and fostering a lively atmosphere throughout the week. Weekend entertainment is currently centred on Saturday nights, this could also be enhanced by adding events on Fridays or Sundays to broaden the appeal and attract more guests. Expanding the entertainment line-up would create an inclusive space that caters to a wider audience. A key feature of the pub will be its sports offerings. With a fully paid sports package, the pub can be a go-to venue for live sports, drawing fans and making sports viewing a central part of its identity.
Above all, the new operator will put the local community at the heart of the pub, cultivating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes the Royal Standard a place where everyone feels at home and the pub can become a true community focal point in the area.
The BDM is seeking an operator with a real zest for all things hospitality. You must have the skills to plan and deliver a varied and vibrant rhythm of the week ensuring everyone is made to feel welcome. Experience in running a similar venue would be advantageous and applicants must have the right sales-focused ideas to maximise sales before and after games whilst ensuring customers are served in a safe environment.
