The Macebearer offers an open and versatile trade space built around a single, well‑situated bar that serves as the heart of the pub. Guests step into a bright, welcoming environment designed for easy flow and sociability, with plenty of comfortable seating and clear sightlines throughout. The layout naturally brings people together, whether they’re stopping in for a casual drink, settling down to watch live sport or enjoying an evening with friends. The pub’s entertainment features—such as TVs for major sporting events, along with popular pub games like pool and darts—create a lively atmosphere and keep customers engaged throughout the week. Outside, a well‑kept and fully enclosed garden provides additional space year‑round, offering both sunny spots and sheltered areas that make it perfect for community gatherings, family visits and larger social occasions. Altogether, the trade space supports a broad mix of activities and offers the flexibility needed for a hands‑on operator to build consistent trade.

Business Development Manager

‘I have worked in pubs and hospitality for over 26 years, progressing from front of house to General Manager before moving into business development. I have spent 15 years as a BDM, supporting pub and hospitality businesses to grow and succeed. I believe a great franchisee takes real ownership, becomes part of the local community, drives their business forward and builds a strong team around them. I like to work in an open, honest way with regular, clear communication. For me, pubs are more than a job — they are a lifestyle, and I love seeing busy pubs bring communities together.’
