Exeter Recruitment Open Day

This area of Cheltenham demands quality, so the ideal applicant will certainly have a passion for the best food and drink and second to none service. It would suit an experienced couple having previously excelled in food service in a high footfall venue.

Suffolk Arms Cheltenham

Nestled in the heart of Cheltenham&rsquo;s fashionable Suffolk Parade, The Suffolk Arms offers a rare opportunity to take on one of the town&rsquo;s most admired and beautifully presented gastropubs. This Grade II listed building combines elegant Georgian character with contemporary style, creating a warm and welcoming environment that attracts both loyal locals and visiting food lovers.

Inside, the pub&rsquo;s meticulously restored interior features exposed brickwork, wood panelling, and stylish modern furnishings, blending period charm with a refined yet relaxed dining atmosphere. A spacious bar area serves a carefully curated selection of local ales, fine wines, and craft spirits, making it ideal for everything from casual drinks to evening celebrations.

The dedicated dining space provides the perfect setting for chef-led seasonal menus and elevated gastropub experiences, supported by a fully equipped professional kitchen &mdash; ready for an ambitious operator to make their culinary mark.

Outside, guests can enjoy al fresco dining on the terrace, taking full advantage of Cheltenham&rsquo;s vibrant caf&eacute; culture during the warmer months.

With its exceptional location, elegant presentation, and loyal customer base, The Suffolk Arms represents a premium pub and restaurant opportunity in one of Cheltenham&rsquo;s most desirable neighbourhoods &mdash; ready for an experienced publican or restaurateur to continue its legacy and shape its next chapter.

The Picture House Leighton Buzzard

Free Sky & TNT for 6 months saving up to 8k

The Picture House is a lively, town-centre pub in Leighton Buzzard, well known for its mix of live sport, weekend entertainment, and quality pub food. With a spacious open-plan trading area, this versatile site is designed to cater for both daytime and evening trade.

The main bar sits at the heart of the venue, serving a mix of fixed and loose seating, with zones split between casual dining on one side and sports-led drinking on the other. The layout also supports plenty of vertical drinking space, creating a flexible environment that works well for both midweek trade and busy weekends.

The pub is especially popular for its entertainment offering, featuring its own DJ booth, regular live bands, and karaoke nights that draw in strong crowds. It also has a loyal sports following, showing both Sky Sports and TNT Sports across multiple screens, making it a go-to spot for major fixtures.

Outside, a large pub garden with space for 60+ people provides extra trading potential. With part of the garden covered and the rest fitted with pub benches, it&rsquo;s a year-round asset that appeals to families, groups, and casual drinkers alike.

For the right operator, this is an exciting opportunity to run a pub in Bedfordshire that&rsquo;s already established as a social hub, with huge scope to grow further through food, entertainment, and sport.

We are looking for that operator (s) who will immerse themselves in the village, be part of village life and have the plans for the pub to fit into that marketplace. Experience is not essential, but it would help, especially in the kitchen.&nbsp;

The Portskewett Inn is a lovely village business and would suit either a couple or a family with experience running a popular community pub. The pub is very well supported by the locals and residents who live nearby. Ideally, I would like to recruit a local family or couple who know the business and history and can demonstrate the ability to drive a great community atmosphere whilst getting involved in all aspects that this will bring. The publicans will need to be engaged with the locals and encourage pub teams, and support them in their efforts.

Portskewett Inn Portskewett

Nestled in the picturesque South Wales village of Portskewett, just a mile from the English border, this welcoming two-bar pub offers a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to run a community pub in Monmouthshire. Positioned prominently on the village high street, the pub sits right at the heart of local life, making it an ideal choice for operators who want to build a loyal customer base and become a key part of a thriving rural community.

The layout lends itself perfectly to a varied, all-day offer. The traditional locals&rsquo; bar provides a relaxed, friendly setting complete with a pool table &mdash; a great asset for driving regular wet-led trade and hosting local teams or mid-week community events. This side of the pub attracts returning regulars, walkers and residents looking for a warm, familiar spot to unwind.

Alongside this, the spacious restaurant/lounge seats around 40 covers, presenting a strong food-led pub opportunity. The attached, well-equipped trade kitchen offers plenty of scope to introduce a high-quality menu, seasonal dishes, themed food nights or popular classics that appeal to families and visitors. This makes the site especially attractive to operators wanting to build a strong reputation as a destination dining pub in South Wales.

Outside, the pub benefits from a front seating area &mdash; ideal for summer drinks or passing trade &mdash; along with a small rear area and a convenient on-site car park. These features add flexibility for al fresco dining, small functions and busy weekend service, helping to broaden the pub&rsquo;s appeal and maximise revenue potential.

Portskewett&rsquo;s close-knit community, combined with its proximity to key routes and the Severn crossings, means the pub draws a healthy mix of locals, families, commuters and visitors exploring the region. This creates steady footfall and long-term growth potential for an operator eager to develop a successful village pub business.
