Overview
The Smithfield Bell is a family-friendly pub situated on a busy retail park in Welshpool. The surrounding area includes Welshpool train station, golf course, and Powis Castle and Gardens, a National Trust site. The area is popular with tourists, with caravan parks, cycling routes, and canal walks nearby. The pub features indoor and outdoor play areas for children, a large bar with a wide selection of ales, beers, and ciders, TVs, and a pool table.
The pub offers a classic food menu catering for all, with a restaurant area that can seat 160 guests indoors and 40 outside during busy periods. It also has a pizza kitchen offering takeaway options for cyclists and walkers. Currently, the pub has a sales mix of 65:35 (dry to wet) and weekly sales of around £15,000. We seek licensees who can build strong community links, boost sales, and realize the pub's full potential. Our Community Food Partnership is ideal for experienced pub or restaurant operators passionate about serving excellent food and providing memorable experiences. With low initial costs and comprehensive training and support, this is a great opportunity to run your own business.
What’s in it for you?
* A guaranteed annual retained sum of £35,000, paid weekly
* Plus 26% share of weekly sales, excluding VAT
* Incentive bonuses based on performance and audits
* Low initial costs: £5,000 deposit and £360 legal fees

* Stock and consumables supplied by Marston’s, with management responsibilities
* Comprehensive induction and ongoing training
* Support from an area manager and access to a 450-strong support team
* Access to free learning and development platform Campus
What’s expected from you:
This is a food-led business operating Marston’s corporate menu, suitable for self-sufficient hospitality managers with creative flair. You will need to cover legal costs (£360), your own insurance, and employment matters. Proof of independent financial advice, a sustainable business plan, and personal licence are required. The commitment is five years, with options for early exit after six months with notice.
