Being a Valiant would certainly be a bonus, but above all, we're looking for an individual, couple or pair of friends with the passion and personality to make the pub thrive! 💪

🎤 Introduce live entertainment and events
🍺 Build a loyal community of regulars

✅ Non residential opportunity

You don't need years of experience behind a bar. We're far more interested in your attitude, ambition and ability to bring people together.

If you've ever fancied running a pub and becoming part of a fantastic local community, this could be your chance.

🎸 Tony Murtagh music takes over at 5pm, so you can give your ears a treat after your face has had one.

The clocks go back Sunday morning, which means an extra hour in bed. Make the most of it. ☝️

🎶 From 5pm on Sunday, the award winning Darla Jade is live. That big shiny record’s no fluke! "Wish We Could", with Nico de Andrea and Syon, has passed 15 million streams. Bit of a tune then! 📀

And Sunday evening, John’s getting his balls out for the launch of John’s Crown Jewels. 😱😱😱

There are 20 in the bag, one’s white, and if you pull it, you win the jackpot. ⚪ 💰

It’s £2 a go. If the white ball stays in the bag, the jackpot rolls over. 🔄

20% of entry money goes to Dougie Mac. 🌻

We’ll have a bit of Play Your Cards Right too. ♣

Should be a good 'un!
