We have an excellent General Manager opportunity available at the Royal Standard, Oxford
The Business
The "Standard" is a High Street pub that behaves like a "local". The pub is in a very close proximity to Brookes University but also benefits from close proximity to private and NHS hospitals as well as lots of University student accommodation and residential. The potential to blend all aspects of local life into the pub is huge. The pub was refurbished to a high standard 2 years ago and stocks all the key major brands you would associate with a High Street pub. The opportunity exists to take food sales to the next level by reaching out to locals, students and workers.
The pub benefits from Sky / BT Sports, one of only 2 pubs locally to feature sports TV. Both Tesco and Sainsbury are in the area with Express stores as well as other major food retailers. Several banks and building societies are also close-by and should provide opportunity for lunchtime custom.
Average weekly turnover: £8000
Split Wet/Food:85/15
Live-In Manager’s Accommodation: Good standard of accommodation with kitchen, bathroom and good sized manager bedroom
