The ideal licensee will be able to demonstrate the drive and passion to ensure the pub remains at the heart of this community. They’ll need to ensure there’s an excellent entertainment programme in place along with good quality beers and ales with a focus on recruiting local darts and pool teams. A back bar food offering would enhance overall offer and drive footfall. A strong marketing plan would be essential to ensure it is the go-to pub every day of the week.
