You’ll become an integral part of the local community. You’ll also be knowledgeable in food and drink and will be proud to deliver excellent training to your staff. Hungry to drive sales and deliver consistent excellence in a highly competitive environment.

The King Alfred’s Head will be a thriving town centre pub after its substancial refurb with homemade specialities and a friendly, knowledgeable team.
