Pub:
King Charles II
Ross-On-Wye
Community Wet Partnership
Apply

Overview

If you're a skilled publican or retail manager with food experience then check out our latest opportunity to run the King Charles II in Ross - on - Wye on our Partnership Agreement.

Based in the town centre of Ross, this one room pub has huge potential to offer a community feel to the locals and tourists alike, it has a large garden at the rear to further compliment the venue. The site is in need of some TLC to restore it to it's former glory.

We are looking for operators that have local knowledge of area, are ambitious and who are willing to put in the hard work to put this pub back on the map. The successful operator will ideally have food knowledge or be able to cook in order to help launch a food menu.
 
By introducing live music, local drinks offers and a consistent food offer this could improve the turnover.
 
The site currently takes on average £5000 on an 80/20 wet lead split but has the potential to achieve higher per week by targeting extra food and drinks sales.
 
If this is not the pub for you do you know someone who is? If so, let us know using our Refer a Friend scheme and if successful in being placed in the pub we will give you a £1,000! (Terms & conditions apply)
