The Montagu Arms is a long-established, much-loved pub in the heart of Mexborough, just outside Doncaster. Known for its warm welcome, buzzing atmosphere, and ability to turn its hand to almost anything, this is not a one-trick-pony venue. Whether it’s a relaxed weekday pint, a big Saturday night out, or a full house for the match, The Montagu knows how to deliver the right experience at the right time.
From looking after our daytime regulars, to after-work pints, Friday cocktails, Saturday karaoke, and Sunday afternoon sport, the pub flexes effortlessly to suit different occasions and different crowds. That versatility creates real opportunity for a commercially minded operator to drive sales across multiple trading periods.
We’re looking for a Management Partner who can spot and seize those opportunities — someone who understands that success here comes from maximising every part of the week, not just the obvious busy nights.
What it takes to succeed here:
- Sales focus, all week long – Make the most of daytime trade, build after-work momentum, and pack out peak periods with smart events and leverage promotions.
- Community connection – Be part of the fabric of Mexborough, from supporting local football, darts, and pool teams to knowing which live acts will pull a crowd.
- Entertainment expertise – The Montagu’s event calendar is a major sales driver. Book wisely, deliver memorable sports nights, and stretch your entertainment budget for maximum return.
- Passion for sport – Especially football. Big games are big business here, and knowing how to build atmosphere around them is key to maximising trade.
- Adaptability – Understand the mix of customers and their reasons for visiting, and tailor the offer to keep them coming back.
