Experienced Operator
Trading style
The Anvil is a traditional, wet-led village local with a loyal regular following. A changing guest cask ale sits alongside the core range, and trade centres on well-established community events, including a Wednesday night quiz and a Sunday evening meat raffle and bingo.
The pub currently opens from 4 pm on weekdays and from 2 pm at weekends, leaving clear scope for a new operator to grow the business while protecting the strong wet trade at its heart.
Opportunities include:
- Longer opening: extending into lunchtimes and afternoons
- Food: introducing a simple food offer to complement the wet trade
- Events: adding live sport, music and family occasions to the existing calendar
- New customers: building footfall from the village, the local workforce and the nearby hospital
The pub company is looking for an enthusiastic, hands-on operator or couple who can keep The Anvil at the heart of Calow – a much-loved village local with real potential to grow.
Pub experience and high standards of cellar and cask ale management are desirable. The successful applicant will protect the loyal wet trade and established events, while bringing the commercial drive to build on them – extending opening hours, developing a simple food offer (which will require investment in kitchen equipment) and using events and social media to attract new customers.
A warm, visible presence in the village will be key to success. The accommodation is ideally suited to a couple or partnership living on site, although a capable single operator with support would also do well here.
