Job Description

If you're a skilled publican or retail manager with food experience then check out our latest opportunity to run the Lewis Arms Hotel in Cardiff on our Partnership Agreement.

The Lewis Arms Hotel is at the heart of the community in Tongwynlais which is situated just off the A470 North of Cardiff and very close to junction 32 of the M4 with easy access into the centre of Cardiff. The pub is also close to Castell Coch which helps attract tourists to the village who often park at the pub and walk to the castle and then enjoy food and drinks on their return.

The customer base comprises of villagers along with tourists and it is also popular with cyclists who stop off for a break. 

The pub has regular Entertainment with a weekly quiz, Open Mic Nights and monthly live music. It also hosts community events too and has outside seating both at the front of the pub and in the raised beer garden at the back of the car park. 

The pub has great potential for sales growth, both in wet and dry sales as it has limited local competition. There is a lot of opportunity to grow the food sales with Sunday lunches and weekend food trade along with capitalising on midweek offers. The pub has a weekly quiz night, fortnightly Open Mic evenings and monthly Live music and these can grow further. 
 
We are looking for someone with experience of running a village/community pub and who has strong experience in running a food operation. The ideal candidate needs to have high standards and be a good networker to be able to involve themselves in the local community.
 
The site currently takes on average £8000 per week on an 80/20 wet-led split.
 

What’s in it for you?

  • A guaranteed annual retained sum of £25k, released weekly.
  • 22% share of weekly sales, excluding VAT.
  • Low ingoing costs, deposits starting from £5,000 and £360 legal cost. (*deposits can vary dependant on business – ask us for more details*)
  • Accommodation included with most bills covered, except the council tax & TV License.
 
If this is not the pub for you do you know someone who is? If so, let us know using our Refer a Friend scheme and if successful in being placed in the pub we will give you a £1,000! (Terms & conditions apply)
