Due to an internal move we are looking for a General Manager for the Blaina Wharf in Newport. Salary up to £48k plus bonus and a generous benefits package. 

Marston’s is one of the UK’s largest and most beloved pub chains and today, we operate more than 1,300 pubs, bars and hotels. Now, we’re on the lookout for a great General Manager to take charge at the Blaina Wharf in Newport and lead the team to success!

At Marston’s we’re one big family. We put our people first, which is why we offer real benefits including:

  • Additional earnings potential through bonus and incentive schemes
  • Access to a pension plan
  • On-site accommodation
  • Private healthcare
  • Award winning training and development

About the pub

The Blaina Wharf is a food-led community pub which has recently been refurbished to an amazing standard both inside and out. The pub currently trades at around £40k a week, 60% of which comes from food sales.

With the recent investment, this pub is a sleeping giant and we estimate that sales of £45k should be achievable. The Blaina Wharf is famous for its great beer garden and a popular weekly quiz- creating further reasons to visit will help to build sales.

We're on the hunt for a pub manager with a strong food focus, preferably with proven experience of delivering over 2,000 covers a week or in a busy carvery site. Our ideal candidate should be sales focussed and be able to demonstrate a reputation for great guest experience.

Live-in accommodation available: Three bedroom private quarters, kitchen, bathroom and living room- recently redecorated as part of the investment.
 
Apply now, this opportunity won't be available for long!

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.

A day in the life...

Hi, I'm Lewis

My induction with Marston’s was tailored so I visited sites that were going to be similar to mine.

I spent time with a ‘buddy’ manager from a nearby site – he was a great guy and really honest and talked to me about the culture of Marston’s as well as the day to day running of the business.

My Area Manager, Nigel was really supportive and if he didn’t have the answer he would pull on his network of experts to support.

Dedicated support

My Area Manager, Nigel was really supportive and if he didn’t have the answer he would pull on his network of experts to support, including the recruitment and training teams.

Opening a new build pub

On the opening day there was so many people coming in but I wasn’t worried as I had every type of support there to help it run smoothly. The whole board came down for a meal at my pub, the CEO and the Managing Director are really nice people and down to earth too!
