Regional Manager's Thoughts

The Alexandra is a great opportunity for an experienced publican to take this business and be a main player in the Bedford Place hospitality scene. A simple food menu to cater for the local businesses, a strong rhythm of the week, busy schedule of live entertainment and sports is a must to maximise the trading potential. The pub appeals currently to the student market and local offices and recently launched a street food offer, which should be continued to maximise trade.
