Job description

Run an Admiral Pub, Burts Bar, Buckhaven

Job Type: Leased & Tenancy, Run a Pub, Pub Manager

Sector: Pubs and Bars

Contract Type: Full Time

Pub Layout

Accessed via the main street, the pub features a horseshoe-shaped bar centrally located between the main bar area and the lounge. This ensures efficient service to both sections of the pub and encourages social interaction among locals. The open-plan design of the bar, surrounded by fixed and loose seating as well as high stools, creates a sociable atmosphere in contrast to the lounge area where booths provide a balance of privacy and cosiness, offering patrons the option to enjoy more intimate conversations or gatherings while still being part of the pub's lively atmosphere. This versatility allows Burt's Bar to accommodate a range of preferences and occasions.

Outside, to the rear of the building, guests can enjoy a small yet inviting enclosed beer garden with bench seating. This outdoor space provides a relaxing environment for everyone to enjoy their drinks alfresco, particularly during the warmer months or for those who prefer a breath of fresh air.

Trading Style

Burt’s Bar is a traditional wet-led community local with an exceptionally strong customer base and a core of regular daytime drinkers. The pub utilises its community local feel and champions local sports games such as dominoes, currently having two home teams ensuring one always plays at home. Evening trade is dictated by this activity alongside live music which has proved successful within the community. The main trading area has a mixed drinks offer including premium and standard lagers along with a varied and extensive range of spirits and minerals. Burt’s Bar has a strong regular customer base with the opportunity to grow trade ensuring this site is the hub of the local community promoting charity and community-based events.

The private accommodation is located on the first floor of the pub and can be accessed from the rear of the building. This comprises three bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, and bathroom and has been recently refurbished.
