The Chelsfield is a well presented and mature business now looking for its next long term partner. The Chelsfield is full of charm and quality – offering high-quality food and premium drinks, great cocktails and craft beer.
The pub and location
The Chelsfield pub was built in 1938 as a community hub for the expanding “New Chelsfield” area, next to Chelsfield station. It was designed in a distinctive 1930s Art Deco style with a high-ceilinged interior. Chelsfield is a village like setting in South East London and Kent Borders, complete with own Railway station providing good links to Central London and nearby larger town of Orpington, sitting within the London Borough of Bromley. Chelsfield has an approximate population of 11,500.
The pub has approximately 60 internal dining covers, to the front there is a huge sun terrace with around 100 covers and to the rear there is a recently invested childrens play area and a further 50 covers allowing private hire opportunities. The pub can also create separate function room space (one room with private bar).
We’re looking for a Management Partner who can unlock the full potential of this exceptional pub. You’ll ensure that The Chelsfield is the first choice for local guests, and you will be the place to go for all your pub and dining needs. You’ll be looking to make your mark and deliver growth in a well invested pub and have shown success in a similar setting. You will be Guest obsessed, shape service with your own personality and will be relentless in becoming best in class in your marketplace. With a huge garden and separate function room and bar, you will look to add a strong events calendar to bring people into the pub all year round.
