    Opening Late 2025

    The Old Royal Library (Great Malvern)

    Work is now underway to bring a new pub to Malvern, and we are looking for a licensee to run it.

    The pub will be housed in the former Barclays building at the corner of Worcester Road and Church Street. A Grade II listed property, it dates back to the Victorian spa town era, first serving as a private library until the 1940s before later becoming a bank. Its position and architecture make it one of Malvern’s landmark buildings, on a corner once visited by the young Princess Victoria before she became Queen.

    The site is now undergoing a careful refurbishment, ready to reopen as a Black Country Ales pub at the end of the year.

    The Opportunity:

    • A ready-made, well-maintained pub that specialises in real ale.

    • 18% of all weekly gross wet sales (equivalent to 22% of net sales) and 100% on homemade food sales.

    • Pub running costs covered by the company.

    • On-site accommodation provided, with bills fully covered by the company (excluding council tax and personal TV licence).

    • The freedom that comes from being your own boss.

    • Ongoing training and support from Black Country Ales.

    • Open-ended agreement with no fixed term.
