If you’ve ever dreamt of running your own pub business, then Trust Inns is the perfect business partner for you. That’s because we provide the foundations for a local pub business, ie the bricks and mortar, but it is YOU that creates and becomes the face of the pub (by serving your community, hosting charitable events, organising sport matches, putting on family events, developing a new menu and much, much more). In short, you become a self employed pub tenant or lessee.
Because we understand that it’s great people that make great pubs, Trust Inns make it their priority to find the right people to run our pubs. In fact there’s nothing more important to us.
So throughout this website you’ll find help and advice, information and contact details to help you make a considered choice about, not only whether you would like to run a pub business, but whether you’d like to run a Trust Inns’ pub business.
If you’re thinking of running a pub for the first time, then we’re pretty certain you’ll have lots of questions and possibly not know where to start on your search. This handy, quick and simple guide will help to point you in the right direction, give you the right questions to ask/consider and a check list to cover.
Should you find a pub that you are interested in, then either contact head office on 01257 238823 OR complete our online introduction form and we’ll contact you. Please note, by completing the introduction form you are simply registering your interest in finding out more about our current and future vacancies. Even if you can’t find what you’re looking for, we would encourage you to register with us so that we may contact you in the future should another vacancy arise that may be of interest. Please note that Trust Inns takes pride in being flexible in our approach to getting the right people into our pubs. Should you have a great business plan for one of our available pubs then please get in touch and we would be happy to negotiate terms.
Within the Trust Inns’ estate there are three types of pub offers available. These are specified for each pub vacancy and are not interchangeable;
A leased or tenanted pub means you, as a licensee, take on the right to occupy the pub for a fixed term (leases are usually longer than tenancies) to run the pub as your own business. You are your own boss and have full control as well as full responsibility for all costs.

Trust Inns has been working with individuals and private enterprises to run its pubs for over 20 years. And the majority of our head office and field support teams have worked within the industry for years before that!
Needless to say, our years of experience mean that we have been able to develop a service that truly understands the needs of an individual tenant or lessee and we’re able to share that with you, if and when you need it.
For extra reassurance, we also have a minimum set of standards that we pledge to uphold in our Code of Practice. The Code is supervised by the Pub Governing Body and covers key areas of our relationship with you such as rent reviews, agreement renewal and each other’s commitment to the working relationship.
