A very popular pub for parties for various events, one of which is the Stena workers' Christmas parties, which have been held here for many years.
This is a community-focused, popular pub, so it will need a local person or couple to continue this much-loved establishment. You must have a strong character to look after the locals as well as high standards and a good knowledge of the local area. The landlords would be looking for someone to continue the week and weekend entertainment, as this is extremely popular, as well as embracing the local sports teams. They are happy to take someone who has limited experience as long as they demonstrate a strong character with heaps of passion.
