WORK IN A HOOKY PUB

Situated at the entrance to Brewery Lane and 500yds from the brewery this busy site is well used by customers and staff alike. You will receive your beer deliveries by horse drawn dray which is an event in itself!

There is a large garden with all-weather facilities and a newly installed “The Branch Bar”, a catering kitchen supplying good honest pub grub and pizza’s, 3 letting rooms and a smaller internal traditional bar – there’s also a further development in the pipeline!

Responsibilities
As a Manager, you will be responsible for the commercial success of The Pear Tree. In this management position you would oversee the running of all aspects of the business, including front-of-house work, staff recruitment, accounting, stock control, marketing and advertising, with support given by your Operations Manager and the marketing department.

Being the manager of The Pear Tree will require strong management, commercial and practical skills as well a key eye for detail and retail standards, this after all is the Brewery Tap! You’ll have to constantly adapt to ensure that the pub is profitable, pleasant and safe and that it is run in accordance with the law and ethical guidelines. As a company we believe it is important for our pub managers to lead from the front.

interacting with customers (including serving food and drink) and ensuring that high standards of customer service are achieved and maintained.
making sure you comply with health and safety regulations at all times in the pub, kitchen and other areas
