Overview

Community Wet Operator Opportunity – The Galleon, Broad Haven

Looking for a pub that really comes alive with the seasons? The Galleon in Broad Haven is an exciting opportunity for an experienced operator who loves a bustling coastal pub with incredible views and strong year‑round foundations.

The Pub
A recently invested pub offering a smart, welcoming environment, The Galleon is a traditional single‑bar operation with real character – a cosy main bar, a separate games and dining space, plus a mezzanine overlooking the sea. The layout supports both relaxed daytime trade and lively evening occasions, with solid local custom all year and a strong uplift from Easter through to September.

The Trade
Currently averaging £8k per week with a 60/40 wet‑to‑dry split, this is a proven business with momentum. It offers an excellent base for an operator confident in maintaining standards, protecting investment, and building sustained sales growth across seasons.

The Opportunity
This is an ideal site for an operator who understands how to maximise a recently invested pub—keeping standards high, maintaining the look and feel of the business, and building strong local engagement from day one.
Key opportunities include:

Developing live music and entertainment as a regular draw
Maximising sports viewing with locals and visitors
Turning strong seasonal footfall into repeat, year‑round trade

Experience of running, relaunching or growing an invested pub will be a real advantage, particularly for those who enjoy leading a business, motivating teams, and making the most of a refreshed environment.

The Area
Broad Haven is a vibrant seaside village on the stunning Pembrokeshire coast, known for its Blue Flag beach, golden sands, and dramatic sunsets. The area attracts families, walkers, surfers and holidaymakers throughout the warmer months, supported by cafés, pubs, surf shops and holiday parks. With Haverfordwest just 8 miles away, you benefit from easy access to major amenities while enjoying a relaxed coastal lifestyle.

Accommodation
Private two‑bedroom accommodation in good order — ideal for a small family or couple looking to settle into a thriving coastal community.

What’s in it for you?

22% share of weekly sales (excluding VAT) plus a guaranteed annual retained sum of £25K (released weekly)
Low ingoing costs, deposits starting from £5,000 and £360 legal cost. (*deposits can vary dependant on business – ask us for more details*)

How long is the recruitment process?

We understand that taking on your own pub business is an important decision. We are proud to operate under the provisions of the Pubs Code regulations (2016), by providing certain important information during the recruitment process which will enable you to make an informed decision about the pub business and the agreement which you are applying for. The recruitment process is structured to include meetings with our recruitment and operations team (virtually or in person). The process usually takes 3-6 weeks from application to offer, but varies depending on meeting dates, availability and information required for the completion of the business plan.

How do I obtain a personal license?

For any of our partnership agreements you must have a personal licence to legally operate one of our pubs. We can help in the process of obtaining a personal licence through our partners at John Gaunt. A member of our recruitment team will be able to discuss this option with you as part of your application or enquiry.

Do I need to pay the whole deposit upfront?

If you receive an offer from us, we will require payment of the full deposit at your earliest convenience. However, from time to time at the Regional Operations Managers discretion a part deposit payment may be made with an agreed deposit builder in place for the remaining amount. The deposit, or deposit builder, would need to be paid before the commencement of the agreement.

How do I receive my % turnover share and guaranteed retained sum?

Takings are banked in a Marston’s account in accordance with the agreements, to allow us to deduct our Management Charge. Your share (‘Retained Sum’) will be settled on a weekly basis. Any guaranteed annual Retained Sum is released on a weekly basis to you at the same time as your turnover % share Retained Sum.

Can I replace the menu? Can I run specials?

In any partner agreement pub with a Marston’s menu on offer there is no opportunity to put on your own version of food or specials due to allergies and food regulations. We do have a number of pubs that do not have a Marston’s menu in, and you are free to put on your own food menu.

What would happen if I wanted to exit the business before the end of the term?

Marston’s are well aware that life doesn’t always go to plan, that’s why most of our Partnerships have an early termination clause which can be triggered by both parties. There is the option to give three or six months’ notice (depending on the agreement) for both parties and would need to be confirmed in writing to your Area Manager.

What development opportunities are there?

Our award-winning learning and development teams offer tonnes of support and training to both partners and your pub teams. When you join us, you will be booked onto our BII* accredited induction programme which includes classroom-based learning, practical sessions and for our food-led businesses, time spent at one of our Centres of Excellence pubs where an experience operator will show you the ropes.

As a Marston’s partner, you’ll also get access to our online training platform where you will be able to access a wide range of free online training courses, tools, and resources. In addition, our trainers will support you with in-person and virtual training sessions when you need the extra help! Our team can also help you access a range of apprenticeships for entry level team members, up to managers and directors.

Can I become a multi-site operator with Marston’s?

We do have multiple pub operators across our business, this is approved on a case by case basis and would need to be approved at a senior level. Feel free to discuss this with a member of our recruitment team in the first instance.
