The Prior is a long-established and well-frequented pub in the heart of Doxford Park. The local community has made it their venue of choice for all occasions—whether it’s a daytime or after-work drink, a place to bring the whole family for a quality and great value meal, or to enjoy the broad range of live sport and entertainment that the pub offers.
There is always something happening at The Prior, and it is known for being the hub of everything good in the area. The partner we are looking for would relish the opportunity to be at the heart of this community and really get to know what makes the locals tick.
Strong community ties are essential in this pub, and the ideal candidate will be able to engage with the locals. They should know all the best bands and live acts in the area, understand how to spend an entertainment budget wisely, and generate the most return on this investment.
Food also plays a key part in the sales mix at The Prior, and someone who can deliver a great quality offer is crucial. The weekly Sunday lunches have a loyal following, and being able to organize the team and deliver a large volume in a short period is essential.
The Pub
The Prior sits in the vibrant area of Doxford Park and attracts a broad range of customers, from the working-class drinker to more affluent locals looking for a great pub to enjoy drinks with friends or a full family meal.
The pub is presented to a high standard, now boasts a comfortable and well-presented open-plan trading area, split into a drinking area with main bar, and restaurant/dining area. Outside, there is a beautiful beer garden with seating for over 75 people, a real draw during the summer months that doubles the pub’s capacity during busy times.
The standards are impeccable at The Prior, from staff training and customer service to the presentation of trading and back-of-house areas. Someone with a keen eye for detail and the ability to get the best from their team will be crucial in this business.
