Job Type: Leased & Tenancy, Pub Manager
Sector: Pubs and Bars
Contract Type: Full Time
Pub Layout
Having recently commenced a full refurbishment of the site following an unfortunate fire in 2023, the Crown, Fordham will have a brand new exciting and vibrant feel to it. With two perfectly zoned trade spaces spread out over three well laid out areas, the pub will feature a brand new bar, a fabulous new kitchen, beautiful wash facilities and an exceptional outside space. The Crown really could be an exciting opportunity for someone to set up their new business.
The more formal seating area with its large open fireplace is designated for drinking and dining, adorned with traditional tables and comfortable chairs for socializing. The bar area and sports zone will house more high-level seating and a pool table and darts board for those wishing to enjoy a less formal arrangement of games and chatter. An eclectic mix of soft furnishings and contemporary décor will give the Crown a modern feel with a traditional pub twist, making it a welcoming family and community hub alongside a functional and efficient business.
Outside, you will see a fantastic covered pergola dining area over the patio space with plenty of festoon lighting, followed by a large open garden with ample picnic benches and a children's play space to enjoy drinks 'al fresco'. A car park for around 15 cars supports the pub and an external beer store provides easy access to an additional storage outbuilding.
Trading Style
The Crown has previously been known for its alternative cuisine; however, the future of the site will lie firmly as a family-friendly community pub with traditional drinks and food offers. Pub games, quiz nights, barbecues, and pool teams have always been a firm favorite of the Crown, and the local area will benefit greatly from having a quality village hub available throughout the week.
Accommodation
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a lounge, and a bathroom, and will be reinstated as part of the refurbishment.
