What makes a great licensee?
We’re looking for people who want to stamp their own style on a business opportunity with passion and flair. We deliberately have no corporate image for our pubs – so it’s vital that the people who run them really make their mark and share the same family values that we do.
Pubs don’t always make it onto the open market, and we would like to make sure you are in our little black book and don’t miss out! We can then send you a ‘new pub alert’ when the perfect pub for you becomes available.

What we’re looking for
We are looking for pub business owners with great ideas and bags of enthusiasm.
This helps us build our reputation for ‘pubs selling food – not restaurants selling beer’!
Palmers is blessed with having a varied estate of pubs that cater for different markets. We specialise in encouraging newcomers to the trade and in owning some of the most iconic and award-winning businesses for seasoned operators to call their own.
We encourage you to get in touch even if your dream pub is not currently available, so we can get to know each other a little and be ready when it becomes available.
