General Manager (Live in optional)

A really exciting and unique opportunity to operate our Southbourne Flagship Brewpub. The Brewpub consists of a large bar and restaurant area, extensive outside garden space, two function rooms and bookable guest accommodation on the second floor with further room development in planning.

Located in a prime position on the High Street in Southbourne, which offers independent cafes, restaurants and boutique style shops and only a 5 minute walk away from the Blue Flag Southbourne beach.

Opportunities like this don’t arise very often!
