Managed Partnership Pubs In Chorley – The Bobbin Mill Is Available !

A large one-room pub with a central L shaped bar, the Bobbin Mill oozes character and charm. Located on the edge of Buckshaw Village, Chorley,  the pub is close to business parks and local communities. The Bobbin Mill has a lot of great features from a coal fire, pizza kitchen, and areas for families, couples and drinkers to enjoy. The pub is trading at around £14,000 a week with 60% of this coming from food sales. We’re looking for a passionate leader to bring their creative flair and energy to drive this pub to its potential. Proven experience of engaging with local community is a must, with the ideal candidate able to build on the already strong reputation this pub enjoys locally.

What’s expected from you:

Our Community Food Partnership pubs are food-led businesses, operating our Marston’s corporate menu. It’s a proven business-model, perfect for self-sufficient hospitality managers with a creative flair, who can drive sales, standards and guest experience.

In addition to the £5k security deposit required for this agreement, you will need to cover legal costs (£360), and your own insurance (except building insurance, which we’ll cover). Also, you’ll want to start thinking about your team; taking care of paying them and all other employment matters.

Before we all sign the agreement and see you heading into a whole new life, you’ll just need to show us proof that you’ve had independent financial advice from an accountant and solicitor and have completed a sustainable business plan, in accordance with the Pubs Code. And, of course, obtain your personal licence (which we can help with) and complete your induction training.

It’s a five-year commitment, so you have loads of time to build the business and get it performing brilliantly but, if you do want to leave early, there’s always the option of six months’ notice with a ‘break’ clause in the contract.
