Management Partner

The Red Lion is a beautiful village pub and we’re looking for a management company with a passion for community right at its core. Local knowledge paired with a love for pubs creates the ideal opportunity for an experienced partner to take the helm. Or, with the right transferable skills, this could be an epic opportunity for a first time venture into running a pub.

With exceptional standards and consistency at the forefront of the business, our ideal partner will create an environment that draws guests in to enjoy a classic pub experience. A home from home where regulars are guaranteed a warm welcome, excellent service and a quality pint. A safe place where everyone feels that they are part of the Red Lion family.

The Red Lion is truly versatile, from enjoying a game of pool and darts with friends, to a delicious Sunday roast with family, there is something for everyone if you’re lucky enough to bag a table! This is the perfect venue to host fantastic charity events, weekly quizzes and live music. Skills to manage the pub’s social media presence effortlessly will ensure you can keep the community engaged with all the latest pub activity, giving the business every opportunity to thrive.

We are on the lookout for a management company who will inspire their team through great leadership and training, making them the best they can be. Running an epic pub stretches further than what the guests can see. The team at the Red Lion will also ensure great standards in both the kitchen and cellar are maintained, guaranteeing guests receive a quality pint of beer and a delicious meal every time.

The perfect management company will be sports lovers, from football and rugby to boxing and horse racing, the locals are mad for it! You will have the skill to promote all fixtures and go over and above to make sure customers choose to spend their time in your pub on match days. Offering something for everyone, the Red Lion is also a haven for pub games, whether it is pool, darts, dominoes or crib, you will be keen to connect with and support local teams as they battle it out in the leagues.

The Pub

Enjoying an internal sparkle in 2020 this is a well-presented landmark village pub. Ideally located in the rolling Northamptonshire countryside, right opposite the village green in Bozeat. The Red Lion benefits from having two rooms – the traditional locals bar to the right which houses the pool, gaming machine and transforms in the dance floor for live music nights. In here you will find the bar stools full with locals chewing the fat and discussing the latest village gossip while enjoying a few pints of quality ale. The lounge area to the left has a cosy and more relaxed feel. This is where people come for an intimate drink and traditional pub food. The pub benefits from well-placed TVs to make the most of the multiple Sky boxes and BT Sports.

Behind the pub is a real hidden gem of a garden. With a patio area and lawns extending to the kids play area, the garden provides the perfect backdrop for any number of occasions – a family fun day, a local craft fair, a charity music festival, a beer and cider festival.

As the Management Partner of The Red Lion, you and your team will fit right in with the close-knit village of Bozeat. Already a well-established business your management skills will take it to the next level, extending the customer base while maintaining regular trade. There is endless potential for expansion of this business, whether it be maximising inside and outside space, with the garden being an untapped goldmine or further developing the menu, there is unlimited opportunity.

As well as this there is spacious living accommodation above the pub.

Earnings are an agreed percentage of sales to cover you and your team. Living accommodation and all bills & maintenance are included. All food, drink, menus EPOS, apps & marketing material are also included, as is all training and a dedicated Operations Manager*.
