Take the reins of a characterful community pub on Rickmansworth High Street. 

You’ll take advantage of the rear courtyard garden with seating for around fifty covers, ideal for guests to bask in the sunlight during the summer months. The main bar has seventy seats and boasts a state-of-the-art entertainment system and a large screen.

There’s an opportunity for a creative business mind to refine the food, drink and entertainment offered. You’ll ensure the Western is the place to go for live sports and entertainment. It’ll be a big pull for Champions league, jukebox bingo or similar during the week and live entertainment and DJs on the weekends.

What qualities are we looking for from the ideal operator? An experienced operator well versed in running a successful quality community offer, someone who will constantly look to drive the business forward with creative thinking around weekly and annual events.

The pub and location

The Western is currently the number one venue in Rickmansworth for guests to catch their favourite live sport and a place to be social. 

It’s more than just a sports bar. The Western is where guests kick back and relax, treat the family to a tasty meal or catch up with friends over a pint. It’s at the heart of the local area and has everything a community pub should have: a warm welcome, enthusiastic staff, and a vibrant atmosphere.

What does the pub aim to be? The Western would fly as a high-energy pub with a compelling entertainment offer. You’ll serve delicious food in a bustling pub that people instantly want to return. You’ll ensure that the Western is an alternative to other community pubs with the bonus of weekly quizzes, open mic, live music etc.

Private accommodation

Manager’s accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
