The Bedwardine Inn is very much a locals pub catering to the community but with the ability to attract custom from further afield, dependent on providing an offer that will encourage destination custom through food and entertainment offers. The successful applicant will need to embrace the local community. Team sports, live sport, regular entertainment and building a weekly program of events will be essential in driving the pub forwards. The site benefits from a catering kitchen which is underutilised and offers the potential to introduce a food offer which would capture further local trade and encourage people from further afield.
