Job description

Run an Admiral Pub, Kingsland Tavern, Southampton

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

Sector: Pubs and Bars

Contract Type: Full Time

Pub Layout

The pub is a prominent, two-storey property with its frontage and entrance on St Marys Street and the side elevation on Kingsland Square. Externally, there is a large marquee adjoining the left-hand side of the pub, providing an advantageous overspill area, particularly on football match days, and a covered smoking area for customers.

The trade area is dominated by a large horseshoe-shaped bar servery. To the left of the bar is access to the marquee, low-level loose seating, and a darts area. To the right, you will find fixed seating along the front window and a popular pool table. Several flat-screen TVs and games machines are throughout.

Trading Style

The offer at the Kingsland is wet-led, focusing on live sports. The pub is a home fans' favorite for Southampton FC followers, with a large influx of supporters on match days. Music and entertainment are also offered on weekends and after most home games. There is an opportunity to introduce a back bar snack offer – pies, pasties, hot dogs, etc. – to complement the live sports and to become part of various darts and pool leagues.

Accommodation

On the first floor is the private accommodation consisting of four bedrooms, a living room, bathroom, and kitchen.

Admiral is seeking a licensee who will drive wet sales and introduce a back bar food offer.

We require an experienced, community-focused operator who is ideally from the local area.
