About the pub
The Crown is a well-established pub with 11 hotel rooms located above the business, offering a strong mixed-income operation just off the M5 and within easy reach of Droitwich.
The pub features a spacious bar and restaurant area, complemented by a pool table and dart board, creating a relaxed and social atmosphere for both locals and travellers. The pub already benefits from a popular weekly quiz and performs particularly well in food sales, providing a solid platform to build from.
With weekly turnover of around £29k and a balanced split across wet, food and rooms, there is clear opportunity for a driven General Manager to strengthen the rhythm of the week through additional community-focused events and to further grow wet sales by engaging local regulars.
The role also comes with generous three-bedroom manager accommodation above the pub, including two double bedrooms, a single room, and separate lounge, kitchen and bathroom.
Have you got what it takes?
It’s true, being a Pub Manager is demanding but the people make it much more than just a job. Brimming with energy and ideas, you’ll add touches of your personality to your pub and think of new ways to delight and excite your customers. You’ll thrive off growing your business and have a ’lead from the front’ mentality and passion for nurturing your team.
As a General Manager you’ll:
*Care about finding, growing and engaging your team.
*Be accountable for running all aspects of your pub.
*Be passionate about doing the right thing for your staff and your customers.
*Dream big and think differently about new ways to increase sales and growth.
*Celebrate and create a buzz by sharing enjoyable experiences.
Are we right for you?

What’s more, our impressive drinks portfolio combines well-known brands, like Estrella and Hobgoblin, with outstanding craft ales and beers.
