Nestled on the picturesque river in the heart of Ashbourne town centre, The Bridge is a split-level pub offering a unique opportunity for a self-employed operator to make their mark. With its characterful layout and inviting atmosphere, this pub is perfect for creating a memorable experience for locals and visitors alike. Currently achieving  £4,300 weekly turnover, The Bridge provides plenty of potential for growth. One of its standout features is the flexibility to design and implement your own menu, giving you the freedom to showcase your culinary creativity and tailor the offer to your customers. The pub also boasts zoned areas and a function space, which are not currently being used or maximised to their full potential—offering a fantastic opportunity for an operator to unlock additional revenue streams through events, private bookings, and themed experiences. Whether it’s relaxing by the river or enjoying the charm of the split-level interior, The Bridge is a destination venue with bags of personality in need of a community-driven Operator to bring it back to life. accessible via the cellar and an external entrance 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.
