This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to step into a high-potential pub business, expand its offerings, make a significant contribution to the local community, someone who is an experienced and is looking to take charge of this thriving pub in a prime high street location. The building has recently been invested in, and the pub offers three distinct income streams, making it a promising business for the right person.
Admiral Taverns are looking for a dynamic, engaged licensee who can make the most of these income streams. The ideal candidate will have prior experience running similar operations or be a highly skilled licensee with a strong background in catering. Local knowledge or familiarity with the area will be beneficial for building strong ties with the community. The successful candidate will be proactive in promoting the pub, with an essential focus on marketing and social media. This will help drive business through effective promotion of the letting rooms, pub events, and fostering a sense of community. A community-first approach, paired with engaging activities and a solid online presence, will help maintain the pub’s place as a key social hub, attracting both regulars and new customers. Additionally, expertise in catering is critical to maximizing the pub’s potential. A no fuss food offering, such as tapas or pizza, or exploring emerging culinary trends, will resonate with the clientele and enhance the overall dining experience. The key will be to balance the successful wet sales and entertainment side of the business with a revamped food offer that complements and enhances the pub’s identity, making it a destination not just for drinks and gaming, but also for great food. By doing so, the pub can strengthen its position against the competition and provide a more rounded experience for customers, ensuring it remains a vital part of the high street.
