You will rent the pub from the Brewery with a contract to buy all alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks from us, after that, you are your own boss! There are no hidden charges, no turnover based increments and no onerous conditions. A managed pub is a pub which is run by a company, who then appoint managers and other staff to run the business. This is not something which Robinsons are involved in.

You keep all the profits. This is a low risk investment- we insure and maintain the fabric of the building and provide the exterior decoration and signage. It's a simple agreement, which is fair and easy to understand, with modest set up costs and extensive support.

You will be joining an independent family brewer, so you can be guaranteed of the personal touch in our support of your business. You will have access to:

• Group discounts for utilities, catering and other suppliers.
• Your own Business Development Manager who will be your main point of contact on a day to day basis, to help keep you up to date with any offers or promotions, give you business support advice and generally be someone to support you in developing your business.
• Our Retail Marketing Manager for more specific support on how to drive footfall to your pubs, retail standards and retail marketing tips.
• Specialists in Wine and Catering to support you in developing a cost effective business with food and wine ideas bespoke to your business.
• A whole variety of training: licensing, responsible retailing, beer & cellar quality and marketing.
• Unless you already hold the appropriate qualification you will be required to attend our 5 day Induction training course which delivers two qualifications; the BIIAB Award in Beer & Cellar Quality and the CIEH Basic Food Hygiene Certificate. You will also be required to hold the Bll National Certificate for Personal License Holders (NCPLH).
• Promotions specifically available to our tenants- for example, pizza ovens and brilliant frozen pizzas within a low cost long term purchasing scheme.
• Our pub toolkit, which allows you to personalize your own wine and food menus, plus banners, posters and tent cards for key calendar events or activities in your pub- from Christmas to karaoke. Including a comprehensive support section.
• Free pub website as part of the main Robinsons website to showcase your pub, upload menus, share events, select campaigns to email out to your customers, store a database and links to social media.
• Digital marketing and PR support to help you promote your pub.

The value will be determined by an independent trade valuer. We may re-purchase the trade inventory at valuation during or at the end of the tenancy.
