Regional Manager's Thoughts

The Comet has been trading as a Beacon Managed Tenancy for over five years and has successfully built a loyal following in the local community. The introduction of a homecooked menu offering can potentially develop sales further. Having a good level of participation with community activity and entertainment is essential. Publicans should be the centre of the community and need to keep abreast of events in the local area.
