About the pub

Trading at around £29,000 per week on a balanced 50/50 split, this is a well-established business with strong wet sales and plenty of opportunity to grow further. The pub sits close to a busy supermarket and a large housing estate, giving it access to both loyal local trade and strong passing custom. Inside, the site offers a large trading area with multiple drinking and dining spaces, combining relaxed armchair seating with booth dining, and is well presented throughout.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced operator who knows how to build a strong community feel while driving pace, standards and sales. There is clear potential to grow the business through local engagement, midweek food, live entertainment and a strong Rhythm of the Week plan. We're looking for someone who is confident leading from the front and able to balance a quality food offer with a busy local bar trade. With the right person in place, the Grazing Cow has all the ingredients to become an even stronger community favourite.

Management accommodation is available in the form of a two bedroom flat.

Have you got what it takes?

It's true, being a Pub Manager is demanding but the people make it much more than just a job. Brimming with energy and ideas, you'll add touches of your personality to your pub and think of new ways to delight and excite your customers. You'll thrive off growing your business and have a 'lead from the front' mentality and passion for nurturing your team.

As a General Manager you'll:

  • Care about finding, growing and engaging your team.
  • Be accountable for running all aspects of your pub.
  • Be passionate about doing the right thing for your staff and your customers.
  • Dream big and think differently about new ways to increase sales and growth.
  • Celebrate and create a buzz by sharing enjoyable experiences.

Are we right for you?

What's more, our impressive drinks portfolio combines well-known brands, like Estrella and Hobgoblin, with outstanding craft ales and beers. Add a dash of our unique Marston's atmosphere and we have the ingredients to make every visit a fantastic experience for our customers. The same goes for our people and as one of our General Managers you'll find a premium blend of challenge, security and career progression. And whenever you need support or guidance advice from your area manager, you'll find their door is always open.

Come as you are. Personality counts for more than anything else here. We'll accept you and celebrate you for being you. We can't wait to see what we can make happen together. Marston's could be the making of you.
