About the pub
The Haywain is a large capacity community hub with central bar supporting both a bar and drinking area with darts and pool table and a family, child friendly dining area serving a range of pub classic dishes, light bites and Sunday Roast. South facing garden area lends itself to both drinking and alfresco dining during the summer months. Well known for its weekly quizzes, bingo, and family character events.
Situated in the centre of the Quedgeley district of Gloucester, the Haywain is located next to a small retail park, close to residential housing, supermarkets, and shops, generating a vast footfall. A large customer base within walking distance and benefits from local schools, libraries, and community centres. The Haywain had a diverse demographic where daytime trade attracts both local retired seniors and young families alike, benefiting from a large wet trade from local workers and students in the weekday evenings. Weekend trade largely from family dining and community social groups.
The Haywain is currently delivering average weekly sales of 20,000 which is split 70/30 in favour of food.
Additionally, there is 3 bed accommodation available to the General Manager.
We are looking for a driven, dynamic and experienced General Manager. Someone who really understands their community and what they want from their local pub. A strong background in both food and drink.
