Trading style
The Badger Hounds currently enjoys a healthy and balanced trade, with a 60/40 split in favour of wet sales, demonstrating its strong reputation as both a welcoming local pub and a well-regarded dining destination. The drinks trade remains robust, while the food side of the business continues to grow. The pub’s food offering is a real asset, drawing in diners from surrounding towns and coastal villages. There is significant untapped potential to further develop and expand this side of the business, whether through seasonal menus, themed dining nights, or a renewed focus on local and regional produce. In addition to food and drink, The Badger Hounds serves as a hub for the local community, regularly hosting entertainment evenings, live music, and special events. These popular nights not only enhance the atmosphere and sense of community but also provide an additional revenue stream and boost midweek trade.
The landlords are seeking an energetic and driven licensee/couple to take the helm at this well-established pub. Ideally, the successful applicant will be experienced in food operations with a solid grasp of seasonal trading patterns and the skills needed to maintain and grow the thriving local trade, which enjoys strong support throughout the year. While applicants with catering experience will also be considered, the ideal candidate will bring a strong command of modern marketing techniques and a creative approach to community engagement. The ability to implement effective promotions to increase wet footfall and elevate the food offer is essential. The landlords are looking for someone ready to embed themselves in the local community and ensure the pub remains a welcoming, vibrant hub for both residents and visitors.
