Are you looking to run a characterful wet-led pub in Whitchurch, approximately five miles outside Bristol? If so, look no further than the Sheild 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 management partner

You’ll be fantastic with people, the quintessential host or hostess with the most. We’re seeking an inspirational, initiative-taking leader to delegate to a well-trained, engaging team. You’ll be efficient and effective in all aspects of the business, ensuring consistency from the cellar to the service.

We’re also seeking a talented management partner who can ingratiate themselves into the local community. You’ll be knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the drink offer and organise irresistible events for all your customers, old and new.

You will need kitchen experience to help launch your food offer, complementing the drinks range.

The ideal management partner will be proud to manage this as a safe and welcoming environment for all the demographics who should meet in this great community pub.

Private accommodation

This incredible business opportunity provides three bedrooms with a living room, kitchen, and bathroom in good condition.
