A well-established Bristol pub is looking for a 'hand on' operator - here's how you can get involved

A well-established pub in Bristol is searching for a 'hands-on' operator to join their team. Discover how you can become part of this exciting opportunity.

The George Inn in Shirehampton is looking for a new hands on, people-focused operator to take the community pub to the next level.

The well-established high street community pub has a loyal following and an 80/20 wet-led trade, offering a warm, sociable atmosphere across a large main bar, a defined dining area and under-used outdoor spaces.

The description of the role continues: “It suits an experienced, hands‑on owner‑operator—an individual, couple or family—who’s visible on the floor, builds relationships with regulars and local teams, and brings confident day‑to‑day management.

“Success will come from strengthening the core drinks trade while adding simple, consistent food that extends beyond the current breakfasts and rolls into the evening, and by activating the spaces that are currently under‑utilised: the 28‑cover dining area beside the kitchen, the covered outdoor areas and the upstairs function room for private hire, themed nights and community events.

“With a positive local reputation and straightforward competition nearby, a friendly, proactive operator can elevate The George as the natural meeting place for the neighbourhood, increasing visit frequency and broadening appeal without losing its community heart.”

The pub has an estimated entry cost of around £13,750, an annual rent of £25,000 and a forecasted operator profit (including machine profit) of around £24,342.
