The Griffin is a charming, traditional beamed pub with stone floors and three popular letting rooms, nestled in the heart of Barkisland on the outskirts of Halifax. The pub features a welcoming main bar area with two cosy rooms leading off it, and double doors opening out into a lovely rear beer garden. There’s also a spacious function room/private dining area, perfect for hosting events, celebrations, and community gatherings.
With a strong local customer base, as well as walkers and cyclists passing through thanks to its great location, the Griffin attracts a fantastic mix of guests. The on-site car park offers plenty of space for everyone - whether they’re popping in for a drink, booking a meal, or staying overnight in one of the well-loved letting rooms.
We’re looking for operators with experience in delivering their own food menu, managing letting rooms, and boosting wet sales through regular events. Someone who brings energy, personality, and a passion for growing a business through great community connections.
We’re fully committed to supporting the right operator. We can offer flexibility, including an increased percentage of weekly sales for an initial period to help boost early earnings. Plus, Marston’s is offering a £5,000 retention bonus after six months in the pub (T&Cs apply).
This pub has character, potential, and room for creativity - and we’re open to exploring ideas. We’re flexible, we’re excited, and we’d love to have a chat with anyone who thinks the Griffin could be their next adventure!
