Pub Management Partnerships In Brackley – The Chequered Flag Is Now Available !

The Chequered Flag is at the heart of the community in Brackley, set in the stunning village of Streatley on Thames. It is surrounded by chimney pots, with a great reputation locally. Situated next to popular local amenities, this local pub is in excellent condition and offers something for everyone with a varied menu, live sports and a children’s play area.

Originally built in the 14th Century, the pub operates as a B&B as well with 6 bedroom accommodation adjacent to the main building. Large beer garden to the rear with a car park for 20 cars.

The Chequered Flag is trading with an average of £10,000 a week in sales and is a true destination food driven business with a 50/50 food to drink split. Meaning food quality and service is vital. The newly launched, improved Marston’s food menu supports the 60 seater restaurant with bar and three large open fires, with additional seating outside to drive sales in the warmer months.

The pub is in a stunning local village, with the customer base being families and older generation. It is a great location all year round from walkers to people holidaying and mooring from the local river, to the new operator must have the experience to drive trade locally and visitors from outside the area and comfortable in dealing with a mutli-faceted business.

That idea you’ve always had about running your own pub – always seemed like a distant dream, didn’t it? Bet you never realised it was just a £5k security deposit away with a Marston’s retail agreement. Your earnings will be based on a percentage of weekly net turnover and for those of you interested in delivering a food offer, the agreement may include one of our branded food menus.

We’ve been working with this type of agreement for 10+ years now and have invested £3 million in our Retail Agreement pubs over the last year alone. People love them because they allow you to:

In addition to the £5k security deposit required for this agreement, you will need to cover 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, as dictated by the Statutory Pub Code. And, of course, obtain your personal licence (which we’ll 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.

As part of our quest to find the perfect operator for this pub, have waived our legal fees on this vacancy, saving the successful candidate £360.
