Could you run this Alresford pub?
Are you looking to run a pub business upon which you can genuinely make your mark? Look no further than the Pointer Inn.
Pub and location
The Pointer Inn is a rare find. It’s the only pub in the village of Alresford, Essex: a peaceful spot just minutes from Wivenhoe and historic Colchester. The nearby university campus adds to the buzz, attracting locals, students, and visitors.
You’ll be working and living in a beautiful Grade II-listed building full of charm. Brick and tile, with a large beer garden, open log fire, and plenty of parking. It sits right in the heart of the village and is well connected by road and rail. The train station is just a short walk away.
Inside, the pub is warm and welcoming. There’s a sports bar to the right with pool and pub games. The main bar is central, with a cosy fireplace and relaxed seating. A quieter restaurant area offers space to enjoy traditional home-cooked food or a simple bar meal.
The Pointer is known for its Sunday roasts and friendly atmosphere. Families love the safe, enclosed play area in the garden. Locals come for the real ales, draught lagers, wines, and ciders, and stay for the fire and conversation.
Alresford is growing fast, with new homes and fresh energy, so this is your chance to run a proper village pub with character, community, and potential. If you’re ready to make your mark, The Pointer is waiting.
Ideal publican
This pub needs someone with drive, passion, and a clear vision for the future. The ideal publican will have experience in hospitality or retail and know how to run a business to exacting standards. They’ll care deeply about excellent service and want every guest to leave happy.
We’re seeking someone who wants to be part of the local community. Someone who enjoys meeting people, building relationships, and making the pub a welcoming hub for everyone. A flair for food and drink is essential, whether it’s crafting a simple menu or curating a great drinks list.
Most importantly, this is for someone who sees the bigger picture. Someone ready to shape the pub’s future over the next five years and turn it into a place people love to visit repeatedly. Is this you?
