Business Partner - Cirencester

The Eliot Arms is a traditional, community pub located in the Cotswolds. The main bar area located to the front of the building and is mostly utilised by the wet side of the business. This area has a large open fire which is a great attraction during the winter months. To the right of the bar, there is a dedicated carvery unit with seating for around 60 diners. Towards the rear of the premises, there is a large dining area but during skittle night, it gets converted into a good sized skittle alley. The pub also benefits from a beer garden which is situated next a slow moving river which is used for the annual ‘rubber duck race’.

Who are we looking for? We are looking for an individual or couple who have a good level of food knowledge and experience.
