Property details
The Woodman is a landmark site, set back from the main road, with excellent curb appeal that attracts both passing trade and residents. Situated in the densely populated town of Waterlooville, Hampshire, this detached pub benefits from its prime location, surrounded by numerous houses and close to a small parade of shops, as well as a local school. Additionally, the town of Portsmouth is just six miles northeast of Waterlooville, further enhancing its appeal and accessibility.
This is a one-room operation, featuring a well-stocked bar that offers a vast product range with industry-leading brands, catering to customers of all ages. To the right, there is a games area equipped with a pool table and a darts board, making it a great spot to enjoy sports on TV while playing games with friends. On the left of the bar, you'll find a more relaxed seating area, perfect for a quiet drink. The pub also has space for hosting entertainment events, which would be warmly welcomed by the local community.
Externally, The Woodman has a real wow factor with its spectacular grassed beer garden, which includes around 20 benches and an enclosed area with an outside screen for enjoying sports. At the front, there is a spacious car park. These excellent outdoor spaces are ideal for hosting community events in the warmer months, such as charity days and summer fetes, fostering a strong community spirit.

The BDM is seeking an experienced, confident, and energetic professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and knows how to engage, entertain, and deliver an exceptional experience.

You will need to be confident in leading and building a great team, setting high standards, creating a pub that is always clean, safe, welcoming, and full of atmosphere. Above all, you must be obsessed with community and all the great things you can expect to come with being part of that. The pub already has some strong foundations in place, a known name great for sports and live events, and a central location. With the right person at the helm, it has the potential to become the go-to spot to watch the match, celebrate the weekend, unwind after work, or enjoy the sunshine in its beautiful garden. The landlords are looking for someone dynamic and driven who can match the energy of Waterlooville and turn the pub into the best venue and chosen pub for the locals and visitors alike.
