Pub:
Flintlock
Hinckley
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 Fintlock in Hinkley on our Partnership Agreement.

The Flintlock is based in a local community estate area of Hinckley about 10 mins drive from the town centre. The Flintlock is a two room pub with one side for dining which has 80 covers and the second room which is the bar with approx. 50 covers. There is a large carpark at the front with a beer garden and another grassed beer garden at the rear so lots of outside space to be used during the summer months. 

The site is currently trading around £17,000 per week with a 80/20 wet led split. The Flintlock is also the home of live sport with TNT & Sky currently in the site. There is a lot of streets nearby so has a large catchment area of customers with all the usual local amenities on the doorstep. We are looking for a licensee/s who can build strong links within the local community and has the drive to boost sales and drive the Flintlock to reach its' full potential.

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) 

The Opportunity

What’s in it for you?

  • A guaranteed annual retained sum of £25k, released weekly.
  • 22% share of weekly sales, excluding VAT.
  • Low ingoing costs, starting with just a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal cost. See ‘Things to consider’ for more information.
  • Accommodation included with most bills covered, except the council tax & TV License.
  • All of your stock, including food, and all associated consumables are supplied by Marston’s, although you will be responsible for managing it once it has been delivered.
  • Comprehensive induction training and ongoing support and training.
  • A dedicated Area Manager supporting you to help you grow the business.
  • Access to our 450 strong-support teams whenever you need them – including Marketing, Recruitment best practice and Food and Drink specialists.
  • All our Pub Partners get access to our FREE Learning, Development and Training platform Campus (a package worth over £300!)
  • If you do want to leave early, there’s always the option of six months’ notice with a ‘break’ clause in the contract.

What’s expected from you:

Our pubs are at the heart of the community, bringing locals and the communities together by serving great drinks, perfect food and fantastic events. It’s a proven business-model, perfect for skilled publicans or retail manager with food experience, who can drive sales, standards and guest experience.

In addition to the £5k security deposit required for this agreement, you will need to cover legal costs (£360), and your own insurance (except building insurance, which we’ll cover). Also, you’ll want to start thinking about your team; taking care of paying them and all other employment matters.
 
Before we all sign the agreement and see you heading into a whole new life, you’ll just need to show us proof that you’ve had independent financial advice from an accountant and solicitor and have completed a sustainable business plan, in accordance with the Pubs Code. And, of course, obtain your personal licence (which we can help with) and complete your induction training.
 
It’s a five-year commitment, so you have loads of time to build the business and get it performing brilliantly!
