Job Details

Pub Overview

Doverdale is available on our Management Agreement, Just Add Talent. It combines our tried-and-tested pub concept with industry-leading training and support for you and your team.

This is your opportunity to run a ready-made pub with no utilities, stock, rent or maintenance costs. We also supply ready-to-go till, stock ordering and health & safety systems. You can rest assured knowing that we do the detail, so you can Think Bigger.

If you've got the talent to manage a team, deliver great service, and know your local community, this is your chance to build a successful pub business.

So, what would you do with Doverdale to drive forward our pub concept?

About the pub

Doverdale is a welcoming community pub, providing great value drinks and a friendly space for loyal locals to meet and enjoy everyday get togethers.

A full refurbishment of this pub is planned to help you drive trade. Applicants should be aware that all refurbishments are subject to final board approval which will be determined as part of the leasing process.

Located in a suburban area of Droitwich, Doverdale has around 5,000 adults living within a ten-minute walk. It is one of a handful of pubs in the immediate area, giving the new operator an opportunity to strengthen its position through strong community engagement and a distinctive entertainment offer.

The pub currently attracts a predominantly wet-led, locals-driven customer base. Following the refurbishment, it will continue to serve its established regulars while becoming more attractive to families and other local groups looking for a welcoming place to socialise.

The offer

Doverdale will remain a wet-led pub, supported by a quality drinks range and a focused coffee offer. Trade will be driven through strong engagement with the local community, a year-round entertainment programme, functions, sports and games, and making the most of the pub's dedicated function space.

We're also really interested to hear your ideas on how you would drive trade.

Who we're looking for

Attitude is more valuable than experience. If you've got the following, we'd love to hear from you.

You're enthusiastic and you have what it takes to deliver great retail standards.
You love hospitality and are great with customers.
You bring creativity to build a year-round calendar of events that keeps customers coming back.
You have the confidence and experience to lead a wet-led pub and make the most of its function and entertainment spaces.
You know the local community and you can create a safe and warm welcoming atmosphere where neighbours, friends and family all feel at home.

If this sounds like the incredible pub opportunity you've been waiting for, apply today and tell us what you can bring to this pub's next chapter...
