Pub Overview

Whilst the current Bird & Bush is known in the local community as a wet led pub which features Sports TV, DJ’s and pub games we believe that in order to attract the local Bushmead residents that the pub requires a refurbishment and a change to its traditional offering. The pub should be a popular community venue with traditional pub activities supported by a fresh food offering at affordable prices. In order to move away from the reputation of the previous offering, we are also proposing a name change, to The Round Bush, so that the pub can have a totally fresh start.

Suitable Applicants

The ideal operator/s must have a strong and welcoming personality with the ability to build strong relationship with local community groups.

The confidence to manage a strong bar trade providing a safe place for all guests combined with the ability to juggle food and wet trade and lead a team by example to deliver very high standards would be highly advantageous. Experience with marketing and financial skills is also essential.
