Overview

If you're a skilled publican or retail manager with food experience then check out our latest opportunity to run the Marquis of Granby in Penkull, Stoke on our Partnership Agreement.

The Marquis of Granby is located in Penkull on St Thomas Place. It has a traditional 2 room trading style with a fantastic drinking room with the bar at the focal point of this, and a lounge room which can be used for drink, dining and small gatherings. There is a wonderful large beer garden to the rear with a raised patio area, covered lower patio area and large grass area which makes it the perfect place to be when the sun is shining! There is also a large car park to the side of the pub for customers too.
 
Utilising our popular Marston's Community Menu we are looking for an operator who can deliver a food offer available 7 days a week. Someone who is a great host to the local customers of the Marquis of Granby and promote the pub as a hub of the community. Activities throughout the week as well as red letter days events will be key for continuing to grow the already successful business.
 
The site currently takes on average £10,000 but has the potential to grow these sales by targeting extra sales throughout the week.
 
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, deposits starting from £5,000 and £360 legal cost. (*deposits can vary dependant on business – ask us for more details*)
  • 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 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!
