Tafarn Tanerdy

Carmarthen

Community Food Partnership

Overview

The Tafarn Tanerdy offers good old fashioned pub dining in a traditional cosy atmosphere with stunning views over the River Towy and the surrounding countryside. Located on the outskirts of Carmarthen, the pub was originally a working farm and was converted back in 1973. We‘ve got a lovely large beer garden and serve a wide range of food and drinks catering to all tastes and ages. With great deals throughout the week and a delicious menu full of pub classics, we are the perfect place to bring the whole family.

The demographic is a mixture of older customers during the day that utilise the weekly food offers along with local drinkers and families. The site benefits from a large carpark which means it does bring people from further away. The site is also close to Carmarthen Town and has plenty of housing next to it that you will be able to capitalise on.

The pub is currently turning over £13,000 – £15,000 per week on a 65/35 wet lead split. There is a lot of potential in increase both the wet and dry sales at this venue.

The new operator will really need to drive the food side of the business to ensure that food sales stretch into the evening as much as possible. There is also potential to grow and introduce pool/darts teams into the site. A strong marketeer, experienced community operator, previous pub management experience is a must and local knowledge of the area would be an advantage.

What’s in it for you?

  • 26% share of weekly sales (excluding VAT) plus a guaranteed annual retained sum of £35K (released weekly)
  • Incentive bonuses based on business performance and standard audits.
  • Low ingoing costs, starting with just a £5,000 deposit and £360 legal cost.
  • Accommodation included with most bills covered, except the council tax & TV Licence

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.
