Greene King Pub Partners has announced that it is searching for new management to take over the tenancy of Trents on South Street, Chichester.
Writing on social media, the group said the “standout pub” needs someone “with the passion and ambition to unlock its full potential and create a destination pub that becomes the talk of the town.”
The advert says that the site needs an “experienced operator” who is able to take on the pub and its five rooms.
Greene King Pub Partners, is the division of the brewing company which works with around 1,000 licensees who run pubs under tenancy, lease or franchise agreements.
It believes Trents has the potential to make a profit of over £70,000.
Whoever takes the pub on will be inheriting nearly 500 years of history. Cicestrians have been drinking at a string of alehouses on the site since 1599, when it was known as the King’s Head.
The pub has had a colourful life; hosting a near‑fatal poisoning in 1889 and a conviction for selling watered‑down gin in 1891.
Now, Greene King is looking for someone ready to write the next chapter in one of Chichester’s oldest and most storied pubs.
