Stanleys is just a short distance from Chester's busy train station, which means it has real scope to attract an enviable broad range of customers. However, there's a definite 'local' feel to the pub - the tightly-packed terraces housing Hoole's up-and-coming young professionals are just round the corner. Chester itself, with its medieval rows of shops, city walls, stunning cathedral and attractive river frontage, is just a few minutes' walks away, and there are good transport links to Merseyside, Manchester and North Wales.

Stanleys is a lovely city pub with a great deal to offer an enterprising and energetic publican. You may have worked in a high-energy town centre venue before, and you'll be keen to fit in quickly with the local community.
