Is Running a Pub for You?
If you're interested in running your own pub, but haven't yet decided whether it's the right step to make, try our simple test - it'll only take a couple of minutes and will help indicate if running a pub is the right move for you.
Please consider each question below within a work context and answer 'yes' or 'no'. When completed please refer to the end of the section where there is an explanation on how to interpret your results. If you are thinking of applying to run your own pub as a couple, please complete the exercise separately.

Interpreting Your Results
If you answered 'No' to two or three of the questions, then please think carefully whether running your own pub and taking a tenancy with Charles Wells Pub Company is right for you. We will be more than happy to discuss any concerns or answer any questions you may have. If you have answered 'No' to more than three questions then regrettably this might not be the right career move for you.
