The Ivy Leaf is a traditional pub that needs a community builder to take the helm. We’re looking for Management Partner/s with infectious personalities! You’ll be popular with your regulars and attentive to new guests, always ready to embrace the wider community.

Food is a significant part of the offer. Although not complex, it does require absolute attention to detail. You’ll have consistently exacting standards and the ability to be hands-on while managing a small kitchen team. That’s why catering experience is essential.

We’re looking for Management Partners who put their guests first every time. You’ll create a fun atmosphere but communicate respectfully if a guest oversteps the mark. We’re also looking for versatility in hosting style for families, couples, regulars, darts, and quiz teams.

You’ll have the self-discipline and the proven track record to ensure positive compliance results and glowing guest reviews. We’re looking for talented Management Partner who can use social media in an enticing way to drive footfall and sales.

The pub and location

You’ll be taking the reins of a community venue that looks like an estate pub, which is part of its appeal.

As a local pub, evenings and weekends are mighty! You’ll draw guests to enjoy mid-week quizzes and games, live sports, and weekend entertainment. Families will love your pub as a safe and enjoyable place to be.

Guests love the main bar area, and there’s a large function room with its own bar, providing endless opportunities for private functions, parties, live entertainment, and live sports. The kitchen and storage areas are also a decent size. You’ll also keep the traditional cellar running smoothly.

Your accommodation on site will help ingratiate you into the local community.

The Partnership

Ready to run your own business, manage your own team and define your own wage structure? Love working closely with an Operations Manager to build an incredible pub legacy with uncompromising standards and stand out guest experience? Then the Punch Managed Partnership is the perfect option for you.

Alongside tonnes of day-to-day support and a brilliant framework to grow the business, we provide an uncapped cut of top line turnover to pay yourself and your team in exchange for your Management Company providing the management services at the pub – it’s your structure to own, subject to management company costs including, but not limited to, staff costs, minor repairs and maintenance at the pub, security/door staff and insurance. We understand how important it is for a Management Company to completely own their own team.

In our Partnerships, we love pub obsessed entrepreneurs that help us lead the industry. We love to partner with people that help us create pub legacies that stand the test of time and become the hub of their community. We get that every pub has its own distinct character, so your Operations Manager will work closely with you to understand the true identity of your business, we can then help support you amplifying this, it’s a partnership after all!
