Description

Thorne-Moorends Town Council invites suitably experienced operators to tender for the licence/lease to operate the bar facilities at Moorends Pavilion. The Pavilion serves local sports teams, community groups, and private events. The bar is a key facility within the venue and must be operated professionally, responsibly, and in a manner that supports the wider community. The pavilion is a new state-of-the-art facility currently in construction, designed to serve sports teams, community groups, and private events. The venue will feature an events space, modern kitchen, bar, and sports facilities, providing an excellent opportunity for a professional operator to manage a high-quality bar service at the heart of the community. The Pavilion is located at Moorends Recreational Ground, home to local sports teams. The site also features a large outdoor playpark, extensive green space, and hosts the annual Moorends Gala and Fireworks events. The area included in the licence a bar measuring approx. 7mx2m and cellar room approx. 5.4mx2.8m situated within the large community & events space. Additionally, use of an office for administrative purposes is available. The bar will come fitted with shutters to ensure security and safe operation. The pavilion contains large hall, kitchen, toilets, changing rooms for sports and a smaller events space/meeting room. The hiring of the hall and other facilities for private events will remain under the control of the Council. The bar licensee would be expected to operate the bar for any events where alcohol service is required. The building is fully secured with CCTV and an alarm system, providing a safe environment for staff, visitors and stock, however the licensee would be responsible for insuring their own stock and equipment. If you are interested in running the cafe with effect from 2025, please request details of the application process and form from Sam Goodfellow, Town Clerk at email: clerk@thorne-moorends.gov.uk address: Assembly Rooms, Fieldside, Thorne, Doncaster DN8 4AE, telephone: (01405) 818015.
