Trading style
The Take a Gander is a destination dining venue with a good reputation and strong social media scores for its food offer. Currently, the trade is split 60/40 in favour of food and this is the level of trade the landlords would generally expect the pub to maintain. As well as the food offer this is a community village pub with a strong regular trade, and the added benefit of being able to host functions. The current operators regularly cater for functions ranging from birthday celebrations to weddings, and this provides a welcome boost to the regular trade. The offer has very much a premium feel and prospective candidates should have the necessary skill set and experience to build on the existing excellent reputation.
The pub is and should be a destination dining venue. With its strong location and excellent facilities, the pub has the right ingredients to offer a fantastic premium dining experience. This is a great opportunity for a chef to take the step to run their own gastro pub, or for a multiple operator who may be operating a similar offer and is looking to extend their portfolio, either way, potential candidates must be able to demonstrate that they have the necessary catering experience and knowledge to maintain the current level of trade.
