The Plough, Effingham - Punch Pubs

The Plough is a beautiful pub located in the foothills of The Surrey Hills in between Leatherhead and Guildford. Effingham is a picturesque village, with a real mixture of traditional older houses and a handful of new estates that are being developed surrounding the village, along with a parade of independent shops.

The pub is going to be benefiting from significant investment in Autumn 2024, to help accentuate the traditional pub charm of the building and to elevate the large outdoor space.

As you walk in the front doors, the bar is in front of you, with a small seating area to the right. To the left, the pub opens up with a dining area, split across a couple of distinct areas. Whilst to the rear of the pub, the garden opens up across the length of the pub to provide a beautiful, picturesque area that is perfect for enjoying refreshing long drinks, or a ploughmans and pint of ale!

The Challenge

Take charge of the bar, garden, kitchen and overall site

Lead from the front and be the face of the business

Ensure the necessary training and procedures are in place

Deliver consistent standards of guest service in a structured and disciplined manner

Seek to always over-deliver guest experiences

Flex business needs depending on weather, season and events

Perform calmly under pressure, managing in a hands-on and approachable manner, always with the best interest of the business, guest and team at heart

Install a service ethos that relies on a combination of friendliness and impeccable standards with the ability to cultivate and nurture relations with the guest.

The Opportunity

This is a fantastic opportunity for the right person to really propel themselves into a newly invested site, in a part of the world that has some great food destination pub, and to really stand out by delivering exceptional hospitality in a beautiful building.
