Railway Inn

The Railway Inn benefits from being located close to the centre of Swadlincote and within proximity to the local park and amenities.

Swadlincote is an English town in Derbyshire, near its borders with Leicestershire and Staffordshire, about 5 miles south-east of Burton upon Trent, The main attractions in Swadlincote are local parks, such as Maurice Lea at Church Gresley and Eureka park which is next door to the pub, Green Bank Leisure Centre and a large dry ski slope. The Railway pub is split into 3 different bar areas. The main area has a central bar which services the main bar as well as a sports room with pool table and dart board. There is a separate function room which can be utilised for dining and private functions/events, as well as a good-sized garden area and large car park. This pub benefits from being the heart of the local community so being able to do local networking will be paramount to driving sales and functions. The site currently takes on average £3,000 per week but has the potential to increase the weekly sales by focusing on relaunching the full company food offer, functions and family friendly activities; bringing new and returning customers back to the Railway. We are looking for an experienced operator(s) with advertising & sales driving skills and someone with a proactive and ambitious attitude to drive this site forward. spacious accommodation with 4 bedrooms, large bathroom, kitchen and living room We understand that taking on your own pub business is an important decision. We are proud to operate under the provisions of the Pubs Code regulations (2016), by providing certain important information during the recruitment process which will enable you to make an informed decision about the pub business and the agreement which you are applying for. The recruitment process is structured to include meetings with our recruitment and operations team (virtually or in person). The process usually takes 3-6 weeks from application to offer, but varies depending on meeting dates, availability and information required for the completion of the business plan. For any of our partnership agreements you must have a personal licence to legally operate one of our pubs. We can help in the process of obtaining a personal licence through our partners at John Gaunt. A member of our recruitment team will be able to discuss this option with you as part of your application or enquiry. If you receive an offer from us, we will require payment of the full deposit at your earliest convenience. However, from time to time at the Regional Operations Managers discretion a part deposit payment may be made with an agreed deposit builder in place for the remaining amount. The deposit, or deposit builder, would need to be paid before the commencement of the agreement. Takings are banked in a Marston’s account in accordance with the agreements, to allow us to deduct our Management Charge. Your share (‘Retained Sum’) will be settled on a weekly basis. Any guaranteed annual Retained Sum is released on a weekly basis to you at the same time as your turnover % share Retained Sum. In any partner agreement pub with a Marston’s menu on offer there is no opportunity to put on your own version of food or specials due to allergies and food regulations. We do have a number of pubs that do not have a Marston’s menu in, and you are free to put on your own food menu.
