Management Partnership Pubs In Bristol – Run The White Lion
Overview
If you’re a skilled publican or retail manager with food experience then check out our latest opportunity to run the White Lion in Thornbury on our new Community Wet Partnership Agreement.
The Lion has been the heart and soul of Thornbury since the 1830’s. Initially called The Lion, it wasn’t until the late 1860’s that the pub changed its name to the White Lion. The publican in the late 1860’s was called John “White”. There was also a pub further down in Castle Street called the Black Lion.
The White Lion boasts a large enclosed garden, bar area, snug with fire place plus a satellite bar that serves the garden and is enjoyed by locals and day trippers.
We’re bringing back the classic pub experience Thornbury loves, complete with traditional games located throughout the pub. Challenge your mates to darts, join neighbours for bingo night, or chalk up a cue for billiards on one of our full-sized tables. We’re reigniting the spirited entertainment pubs have provided communities for generations. Visitors near and far are welcome to cheer on their team in a match of darts or pool, stamp that bingo card, and most importantly.
We are looking for a licensee/s who can build strong links within the local community and has the drive to boost sales and drive the White Lion to reach its full potential. The new operator will be fully supported with plans for a big relaunch including a new food menu and capital spend on the building.
The site currently takes on average £6000 per week on a 90/10 wet led split but has the potential to achieve higher sales by targeting extra food and drinks sales.
If this is not the pub for you do you know someone who is? If so, let us know using our Refer a Friend scheme and if successful in being placed in the pub we will give you a £1,000! (Terms & conditions apply)
