Are you looking for a characterful and picturesque Henlow pub to run? The Engineers Arms could be the one for you.

Pub and location

Nestled in the picturesque village of Henlow, Bedfordshire, the Engineers Arms is a true gem of a pub, offering the perfect blend of traditional charm and contemporary comfort. This inviting establishment is more than just a pub; it’s a beloved community hub serving the finest cask ales and fostering a warm, welcoming atmosphere for generations.

Accredited by Cask Marque and a regular feature in the Good Beer Guide, the Engineers Arms is renowned for its exceptional selection of nine hand-pulled ales. The loyal local trade and CAMRA awards speak volumes about the quality and dedication we bring to every pint.

The pub has an open-plan trading area with a charming L-shaped bar. The tasteful furnishings, carpeted floor, and carefully curated bric-a-brac and artwork create a cosy and inviting environment that feels like a true home from home.

Guests love to unwind in the lovely beer garden, the perfect spot for enjoying a pint on a sunny day or hosting outdoor events.

With its rich history and picturesque setting, Henlow is a fantastic place to live and work. The village, home to around 3,000 residents, offers a close-knit community feel while benefiting from excellent transport links, including proximity to larger towns like Hitchin and Letchworth and easy access to the A1.

Ideal Publican

The ideal Publican will possess a blend of skills, qualities, and industry knowledge to ensure that their business excels. You will lead by example, motivating and managing staff while promoting teamwork.

Customer service will be a priority, ensuring guests have a positive experience and feel valued. That is why we are looking for a Publican who pays close attention to cleanliness, product presentation, and overall ambience.
