Job description:

I am looking for ideally a couple, one a head chef and one a front of house person to take on running the Steam Packet Inn in the Isle of Whithorn.

Either as a paid management couple or taking on a lease of this busy hotel in a great rural location.

Situated in a beautiful location overlooking the harbour. In South West Scotland some 20 miles from Newton Stewart and a 45 minute drive from Stranraer.

Current turnover is £580,000 in the last financial year and there is potential to grow the business.

The owner also has a local brewery and sells their own beer in the Inn.

There is a very good and stable team in place including chefs who have worked in the kitchen for many years.

There is also a good assistant manager.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a couple run a business and to make a good living.

This is a stunning and rural location with excellent fishing, golfing and walking.

Very much an opportunity to have quality of life.

The Inn is open all year round but is very busy in the typical season of March to October.

You will be responsible for all day to day costs of the business such as wages, cost of goods sold, electricity rates, gas and so on.

Very stable ownership in place.

If you think this sounds like the perfect opportunity which you have been waiting for please forward your details to:
