About the pub

Grandstand pubs are high-energy, sports-driven community hubs created for big occasions, live sports and social experiences. With enhanced screens, sound and layouts, they deliver standout atmosphere from matchdays and live entertainment to relaxed, family-friendly dining

These are fast-paced pubs where sport, food and drink come together to drive strong performance and local loyalty. We’re looking for a commercially focused operator whose comfortable leading busy services, building energy through events and atmosphere, and delivering great guest experiences. Previous food experience is essential, with branded food experience a strong advantage.

With £250,000 being invested into the site, including enhancements to the sports viewing experience and guest offer, you'll be taking the reins of a business with real momentum and growth potential. Capex Investment is proposed to take place in late 2026.

Currently, The Maltsters Arms is a well‑established pub and boutique hotel positioned in one of Cardiff’s most historic and affluent suburban centres. It combines a traditional inn feel with modern hospitality and sits in a strong trading location with steady local demand and visitor footfall.
The Maltsters Arms is located on Cardiff Road, Llandaff, CF5 2DS, directly within the heart of Llandaff’s village centre. Llandaff is a cathedral city within Cardiff, functioning as an upmarket suburban centre with a mix of long‑established residential neighbourhoods, university and school presence (including Cardiff Metropolitan University’s Llandaff campus) and local independent shops, cafés, and services. It has a strong daytime and evening economy driven by residents, students, and visitors. This is an exciting opportunity for a sports- and events-led General Manager to support the transition of this business to take it to the next level. The pub is currently turning over £30,000 per week (42% wet, 41% dry, 17% accommodation).

Please note - there is no accommodation available with this pub.

Have you got what it takes?

It’s true, being a Pub Manager is demanding but the people make it much more than just a job. Brimming with energy and ideas, you’ll add touches of your personality to your pub and think of new ways to delight and excite your customers. You’ll thrive off growing your business and have a ‘lead from the front’ mentality and passion for nurturing your team.

As a General Manager you’ll:

  • Care about finding, growing and engaging your team.
  • Be accountable for running all aspects of your pub.
  • Be passionate about doing the right thing for your staff and your customers.
  • Dream big and think differently about new ways to increase sales and growth.
  • Celebrate and create a buzz by sharing enjoyable experiences.

Are we right for you?

From cosy locals to pub-restaurants, our destination businesses serve up an award-winning selection of pub classics and innovative new dishes. What’s more, our impressive drinks portfolio combines well-known brands, like Estrella and Hobgoblin, with outstanding craft ales and beers. Add a dash of our unique Marston’s atmosphere and we have the ingredients to make every visit a fantastic experience for our customers. The same goes for our people and as one of our General Managers you’ll find a premium blend of challenge, security and career progression. And whenever you need support or guidance advice from your area manager, you’ll find their door is always open.

Come as you are. Personality counts for more than anything else here. We’ll accept you and celebrate you for being you. We can’t wait to see what we can make happen together. Marston’s could be the making of you.
