Mark Knibbs BDM is looking for a confident, experienced operator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and understands how to manage a business that changes character throughout the day. The Prince Madoc needs someone with high energy, strong leadership skills and the personality to become a well-known face within the local community. The successful operator will be equally comfortable driving daytime trade and managing a busy late-night atmosphere, understanding that these are two very different customer occasions that require different approaches, standards and engagement. They will be highly visible within the business, passionate about creating memorable customer experiences and be able to build strong relationships with local customers, sports teams, community groups and evening regulars alike. I am looking for someone who doesn’t wait for business to happen but actively creates reasons for customers to visit. They will have a proven track record in sports-led, entertainment-driven hospitality, be confident running promotions and events, and have the commercial awareness to maximise every trading opportunity throughout the week. Most importantly, they will embrace the energy and scale of the Prince Madoc. This is a pub that requires presence, personality and pace. The right operator will bring enthusiasm, ambition and a hands-on approach, building a reputation for great service, strong standards and a vibrant atmosphere from opening through to close.
In short, I am looking for an experienced community pub operator with the drive, resilience and charisma to lead a busy all-day business, inspire a strong team and establish the Prince Madoc as one of Colwyn Bay’s standout venues.
Pub Layout
The Prince Madoc is a high-energy, value-led community pub that successfully transitions from a busy daytime local into one of Colwyn Bay’s late-night destinations. Occupying a prominent high street position with strong footfall, the pub attracts a loyal customer base throughout the day, sports teams, shoppers and visitors to the town centre. During the daytime, trade is driven by live sport, community activity, casual drinks and social gatherings, with the new front lounge area creating an inviting space for coffee catch-ups and relaxed socialising.
As the day progresses, the atmosphere builds, with sport, pub games and entertainment becoming increasingly prominent. Pool, darts and regular events will be key drivers of trade, complemented by a strong community focus and excellent customer engagement. The pub’s late licence until 3am allows it to capitalise on Colwyn Bay’s evening economy, transitioning into a lively late-night venue that offers entertainment, atmosphere and value in equal measure.
Following the £342,000 refurbishment, the Prince Madoc will offer the best of both worlds: a welcoming community hub by day and a vibrant entertainment-led venue by night. This versatile trading style creates multiple revenue streams and provides an experienced operator with the opportunity to build a thriving all-day business at the heart of Colwyn Bay.
The private accommodation is substantially sized with four double bedrooms, kitchen, lounge and bathroom. This will also be invested in making a home for the new operator(s).
