Overview
Are you interested in running your own pub business? The Stag & Hounds in North Somerset is available now on Marston’s Community Food Partnership agreement.
The Stag and Hounds is an attractive country pub with many original features, located in Winscombe on Bristol Road. It is a popular community pub welcoming locals and passing customers. Inside, there are two areas: one for dining and another for wet sales, featuring pool tables, darts, a log burner, and a cozy lounge. The pub is known for its big screen TVs, a popular menu, renowned Sunday lunches, and a quirky kids cinema area. Currently, it trades at £14,000 weekly sales, with a 60/40 dry to wet sales ratio.
We seek a passionate operator who can engage the local community and drive sales through creative marketing. Our Community Food Partnership is ideal for those with pub or restaurant experience, a passion for pubs, and a dedication to serving great food and memorable experiences. With low initial costs and full training and support, this is a great opportunity to run your own business. You will have the potential for unlimited sales, backed by a guaranteed annual sum for peace of mind.
What’s in it for you?
* A guaranteed annual retained sum of £35k, paid weekly
* 26% share of weekly sales, excluding VAT
* Performance-based incentives and bonuses
* Low initial costs: £5,000 deposit and £360 legal fees
* Accommodation included, with most bills covered (excluding council tax & TV license)
* Supplied stock and consumables, with management responsibilities

* Dedicated area manager and access to support teams
* Free access to learning platform Campus
What’s expected from you:
This food-led pub operates on Marston’s corporate menu, requiring self-sufficient management with creative flair to drive standards and guest experience. You need to cover legal costs (£360), insurance, and employment responsibilities. Proof of independent financial advice, a sustainable business plan, a personal license, and completion of induction training are required before signing the agreement.
This is a five-year commitment with options for early exit with six months’ notice and a break clause.
