I am seeking an enthusiastic operator who can build upon a well established business and take it forward to the next level. The successful operator will be able to maximise drinks sales and improve and enhance the existing food offering in conjunction with providing a balanced and relevant entertainment schedule. An understanding of Weymouth would be beneficial and front of house and food experience ideal.
