Would you like to join us as we embark on the next exciting chapter for the Exelby Green Dragon?
We are recruiting new tenants to join us on our journey, making the Exelby Green Dragon a special place to be at the heart of our community.
An ideal tenant will:
• Have a clear vision of how to operate and develop a community pub using our
consultation feedback as a benchmark
• Show the aptitude and attitude to establish a business from day-one
• Hold the business acumen to develop the business and the entrepreneurial flair to
appreciate its potential
• Demonstrate how they would link to the local community and positively seek and adapt
to community feedback whilst operating a viable business
• Demonstrate how they would collaborate in establishing community facilities for the
benefit of the community and pub viability
• Have experience in business marketing including social media
• Be committed to maintaining an active presence, delivering customer service excellence and have an eye for detail
• Have financial management acumen
• Some working knowledge of the pub/hospitality/food and drink industry would be
beneficial but not a pre-requisite
• Have some management or supervisory experience and be able to demonstrate good
people skills
• Understand and accept the ‘unsocial hours’ required to operate a pub business
successfully
• Maximise operating hours through a variable yet distinctive offering e.g. morning, lunch,
early evening and dinners tailored to local demand
• Utilise and work with local suppliers
• Be likely to see the pub as a destination venue with a strong bias to a quality pub food
offering, with real ale, other beers and a good range of wines
• Seek to invest personally and financially in the trading potential, to enhance profitability
• Work with the improvement proposals in an incremental fashion whilst operating an
effective pub service
• Be able to demonstrate a passion for the role
The prospective tenant would be expected to outline their business and marketing plan for the pub
as part of the interview process. As a minimum this will contain a vision for the pub and sufficient
detail to illustrate a quality food and drink offering and customer service philosophy with detail on
how this will be marketed to locals and the surrounding area and how target audiences would be
developed. Developing the relationship and hosting events with the local community will be key success factors.
