We’re looking for couples to manage our pubs, preferably local to the pub. In every case a good manager’s flat is provided rent-free with no utility costs. We prefer to recruit couples who haven’t run a pub before and are from the communities near to where our pubs are situated.Â
We give full training at the brewery, including a personal licence course. We don’t charge for the training, except £39 for the personal licence course and £1,000 deposited fidelity bond (£1,500 in the south). All our managers are salaried. NB: We require both managers to work full time in the pub and have no other job.
All our pubs are managed, however small (we don’t have tenants or leases). We keep our pubs well maintained, being keen on conservation, and we don’t close them down for other uses, even in the most deprived areas.
It is the job of the managers to build up the trade by creating a friendly, social atmosphere with conversation, pub games and consistent high standards. We do not have music, TVs or fruit machines in any of our pubs, we do not allow swearing and have negligible trouble.
We close all our pubs at 11 pm Monday to Saturday and 10.30 pm on a Sunday. Where food is served we have a branded menu.
We only stock our own high quality products. Our draught beers offer the best value for money in the UK.
As a proudly independent firm, Samuel Smith pubs are proud to not stock any products owned by corporations. All products are either produced at our brewery established in 1758, or are sourced from fellow independent producers.
If you would like to apply to be trained by us to run one of our pubs get in contact! We would love to hear from you!Â
We have a variation of different houses available across North and West Yorkshire.Â
