Becoming an Arkell's landlord.

Arkell's Brewery is always on the look-out for good tenants for its 103 pubs. Previous pub experience isn't always necessary, but a welcoming personality and commitment to the role of landlord is.

But don't just take our word for it. Here are some testimonials from just a few of our landlords, many of whom have been with us for over 10 years.

Alun and Julie Rossiter, The New Inn at Stratton, Swindon

"We love running the pub. If you organise and manage the business properly, there’s a lot of freedom and it’s a great way of life. It’s not a 9-5 and we’re living life on our terms.”


Nigel and Sharon Scrivens, The Bee's Knees, Cirencester

We work very hard, but we play too. Running a pub isn’t just a job – it’s a way of life and you’ve got to have the right personality to succeed. We love it because the people who come in here are great and many have become good friends and supporters of the pub.”

Karen Rankine, Arkell's Manager at The Bear Hotel, Wantage

"Working in this business is hard work but fun. When I've finished for the day and I know that our customers have enjoyed themselves - that gives me the job satisfaction that I love. Since Arkell's bought the hotel they've been supportive but left me to run the day to day business. They give me help when needed, but give me the space to run the hotel too."
