Trading style
The site currently benefits from a good local trade so it is important to sustain that trade by offering socially-focused events to maintain the pub's position as the hub of the community. The opportunity lies in developing both the food offer & accommodation. While occupancy rates are good there is scope to increase revenue by targeting local businesses, in particular within the horse racing industry. The current operators have elected not to use the two letting rooms within the main building. Bringing these into use could improve revenue from the accommodation. Equally a strong food offer with a focus on quality and consistency can help to increase spend per head.
The ideal applicant should be committed to providing excellent hospitality to new customers, able to engage with the local community, and drive sales via a range of activities. Experience in retail catering and providing consistently great hospitality will be essential to maintain the success of the Black Horse. A thorough marketing approach is important to ensure that the retail offer is well promoted in the local area.
