Experienced Operator
Trading style
The Golden Lion is a genuine wet-led community local, built around its regulars, live music and live sport. It offers a ready-made wet trade and a loyal following – the heart of the business, to protect and grow rather than replace.
Regular live music gives the pub a strong identity and a reputation beyond its immediate streets, while sport, pool and darts drive footfall through the week. There is clear scope to build a stronger weekly rhythm of events and games teams, and to develop the cask ale and real cider offer – while keeping the traditional feel regulars value.
The landlords are looking for an experienced, friendly, hands-on operator who can protect what makes the Golden Lion work as a community local and grow it into a thriving pub with a strong all-round offer.
You will have proven experience running a wet-led community pub and a real understanding of what keeps a loyal following coming back. Strong cellar and bar standards, the confidence to run live music, sport and events, and a good working knowledge of social media and marketing will be key to bringing new faces through the door – with a sociable, visible presence behind the bar.
