Crown

Ashby, Scunthorpe

Your Local Partnership

Overview

If you are interested in running your own pub business, the Crown in Scunthorpe is available now.

The Crown is a traditional community wet led pub located on the High Street of Ashby, a suburb of Scunthorpe in the county of North Lincolnshire. This popular pub offers a two room operation with bar, lounge, large beer garden and a car park to the rear of the premises. With a good reputation for providing live music the pub is a local to many of the residents of Ashby and surrounding area. The pub has a separate bar and lounge. The bar offers a pool area and dedicated darts throw and the large comfortable lounge has a stage area ideal for providing entertainment. The lounge could also double up as a private function room for additional income opportunities. To the rear of the property there is a large beer garden with ample bench seating and covered smoking shelter.
 
The Crown would appeal to either an experienced wet led community operator or indeed to a new starter. The Crown is already a well-established business that gives potential candidates a great base to build on. There lies an opportunity to grow the business with the introduction of some new and varied entertainment, maintaining and growing home sports teams and running regular charity events.
 
The site currently takes on average £8,500 but has the potential to achieve over £10,000+ a week by targeting extra food and drinks sales.

What’s in it for you?

  • 20% share of weekly wet sales, excluding VAT.
  • Low ingoing costs, starting with just a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal cost. (*deposits can vary dependant on business – ask us for more details*)
  • Accommodation included with most bills covered, except the council tax & TV License.

 

If this is not the pub for you do you know someone who is? If so, let us know using our Refer a Friend scheme and if successful in being placed in the pub we will give you a £1,000! (Terms & conditions apply)

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.

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 and we do run a free personal licence course at our Head office in Wolverhampton. A member of our recruitment team will be able to discuss this option with you as part of your application or enquiry.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
