The landlords partner with passionate, pub‑obsessed entrepreneurs who want to create something special. Working closely with a dedicated Operations Manager, you’ll develop a clear vision for your pub, deliver exceptional standards, and create a pub legacy that stands the test of time.
Whether you’ve been a general manager or run your own business, there are many great reasons to run a pub with them.
The White Lion has previously had a strong reputation as a destination pub for the area, and the appetite is there for it to return to its previous high standards and experience.
Ideal candidates:
- Couple with kitchen experience.
- Confident with food and passionate about genuine hospitality
- Needs to be a personality, warm welcome to those passing through, rebuilding rapport with locals after changes
- Need to know the area, but doesn’t have to be from the area.
- Experience in a destination pub would be desirable.
A great opportunity to take on a pub with bags of potential as the landlords look for a creative operator to return the White Lion to its previous spot as THE destination pub in the area. You’ll be a food enthusiast able to deliver exceptional service and create both reasons to visit for those passing through, and even more reasons to return when they do!
You’ll be an enthusiastic operator who feels comfortable front and centre, touching tables as well as driving food quality in the generous kitchen space. You will not only be popular with locals but also be able to draw guests from beyond. Your focus will be on delivering 5-star quality service and ratings.
The pub needs a savvy marketer, maximising social media channels to reach a new audience. You’ll ensure that you are the go-to venue for local families across the weekend (and the odd school night treat), midweek lunchtime diners, and of course groups meeting for a cracking Sunday Roast. The pub also needs an operator who knows what online guests look for when making bookings and builds strong TripAdvisor, Google, and Facebook scores.
