Are you looking to run a characterful wet-led pub in Whitchurch, approximately five miles outside Bristol? If so, look no further than the Shield and Dagger.
Pub and location
Do you love live sports, hosting events and socialising with the locals? If so, this pub will be right up your street. The ideal management partner will ensure this is the best wet-led local community pub, whether catching up with friends, watching sports, or engaging in live entertainment. You’ll have significant opportunities to grow sales and attract new guests.
You’ll be running a lively pub in a detached property with parking on both sides and a garden to the front and side of the property for guests to while away the hours during the summer months.
It’s a two-bar operation with soft and hard seating areas. One bar contains a pool table and a darts board, and you’ll discover multiple TV screens in both bars. That’s why we are looking for a sports enthusiast.
Ideal Candidate:
- Proven experience managing a busy hospitality venue.
- Strong leadership and people management skills.
- A passion for great drink, and customer service.
- Commercially astute with experience in stock control, budgeting, and driving sales.
- Community-minded with a hands-on, can-do attitude.
- Personal Licence Holder
Private Accommodation
The living accommodation consists of 3 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and bathroom
