With unrivalled training and support whenever you need it, you don't need previous experience or qualifications to become a pub operator. From Bristol to the Isles of Scilly, there's sure to be the perfect business venture for those ready to take on the challenge of running a pub.
Moving into the pub industry was a big leap for us as teachers and there is a great deal of bad press aimed at breweries in particular. We did our research and it was clear that St Austell did not conform to these stereotypes. The brand is a strong one and is growing, a family-led organisation based on core values with a community focus, everything a good pub should be! As a new tenant, their support has been excellent. We feel part of a larger family, listened to, cared about and valued.
We like to pride ourselves on being the best “Small Business Consultants” we can be. We never forget that our Licensees are self-employed, so our primary job is to support them in every way we can to achieve their goals in their own businesses. This can range from help with marketing, HR, product range, food support, and financial planning amongst all the other challenges self-employed people face.
Brilliant pubs, in brilliant places that need brilliant people to run them, are you an entrepreneur or someone that has been dreaming about running your own small business for as long as you can remember? Do you have a great vision for what a hospitality business should be all about and how it should be run? If you are then a St Austell Brewery could be the pub for you. At St Austell Brewery we offer bags of tradition, a fantastic product portfolio, excellent support, investment and business growth opportunities and we pride ourselves on our open and progressive relationships with our tenants.
If you are considering taking over the tenancy of a St Austell Brewery pub, then please telephone or email me to introduce yourself. I will be delighted to be your ‘first point of contact’ and support you from your initial enquiry, through the recruitment process and beyond - hopefully to you joining our successful family-orientated business.
We champion innovation and entrepreneurship. As a pub tenant with St Austell Family Group, you'll operate with flexibility that allows your creative flair to shine.
Running a pub isn't for everyone; it can be challenging and requires determination, long hours, and hard work to make it a success. Partnering with the right company can make all the difference, so why choose St Austell Brewery?
At every stage, we were made to feel that our dream of owning our own business was not only possible but would be supported to thrive and develop and were actively encouraged to use the vast resources and experience available to us at St Austell - from support with necessary technical requirements and a smooth business structure to advice on a wide range of issues with accountancy and access to an open network of other St Austell tenants.

Award-Winning
St Austell Brewery has been voted number one over seven times in the last ten years by the toughest critics in the industry - the tenants themselves. Conducting an independent survey and speaking to the tenants first-hand, Allegra has recognised us as the leading tenanted pub company in the industry.
And - of course - you'll also be selling our award-winning beers, including Tribute pale ale, Proper Job IPA and Korev lager. Quality speaks for itself, and by providing our first-class beers, you can guarantee you'll attract customers.
Having both worked for several pub companies it is very refreshing to be with St Austell. You are treated like a family member and given all the help, support, and advice you need whenever you need it.
