John Barleycorn

The John Barleycorn is a traditional country pub which is full of character and charm. It is situated in the village of Duxford, very close to the world famous Duxford air museum.

It is a Thatched pub with an olde world feel and is perfect for lunch and evening dining. It is situated 8 miles from Cambridge airport. The pub offers a mixed offering, split in favour of drinks sales at approximately 50 percent, with food and accommodation making up the rest of the sales mix. The pub lends itself to a quality food offering at both lunchtime and in the evenings, however for the locals entertainment and pub games are still something that is in demand. We are looking for an experienced operator who can drive food and drink sales at the pub, but also build relationships with the locals and become a community champion. It would also be useful for the new partner to have experience in dealing with a small number of letting rooms.
