Colin Monk and Alex Mauro, owners of High Spirits Leisure Group have acquired a new venue in Ambleside, creating up to 20 new jobs and offering locals and tourists a quality ‘free house’ independent pub and restaurant.

A renovation is currently underway aiming to be open in July, this will bring the group to 7 venues between Windermere, Bowness, Coniston & now Ambleside employing close to 100 full and part-time staff, interviews are now taking place so please email [email protected] if you would like to apply for front of house and kitchen positions.
