There is always something going on at the Derwent Arms, and it is known for being the hub of everything good that is going on in the village. We are on the lookout for a Management Company to run this pub and relish the opportunity to be at the heart of this community and really get to know what makes the locals tick.

Strong community ties are really important in this pub, the ideal company will be able to ensure their team are engaged with the local successful football team, whilst also making sure that darts and pool teams are welcomed and proud to play for the Derwent Arms.

A strong local knowledge of which bands and live acts to book from within the local area would be beneficial and the management company should have a good understanding of how to efficiently manage the entertainment budget and spend wisely to generate the most return for the extensive entertainment offer needed in this pub.

Food also plays a key part in this pub which has a loyal local following for food, particularly on a weekend. Experience of running a busy kitchen and driving a team to provide a speedy service will be key to driving success.
