A PUB in Cheltenham has offered to pay someone to drink beer, watch sports and give their feedback on the visit.

The Seven Springs Hungry Horse pub in Seven Springs is advertising the dream job for pub goers who must represent the company for a £500 salary.

John Newman, general manager at the Seven Springs, said: "Nothing beats the atmosphere and comradery of a local pub – and it really is the guests who make it such a great place to be.

"We’re searching for a pub fanatic who just loves a trip to their local, to become our first ever Pub-licist and help us to become the best pub the community."

As well as drinking on the job, the 'pub-licist' will be faced with responsibilities that include tucking into pies, lasagne and attending entertainment events.

Catching up with friends and the odd pub quiz or game of darts are also part of the gruelling jobs requirements.

Ultimately, the employee will be required to make a number of visits to the pub, in order to provide feedback and recommendations to help make their pub the best.

Each task must be reviewed thoroughly and key feedback provided to management, to help the pub stay ahead of competitors and retain its role as the hub of the community.

Interested applicants must apply before Tuesday, November 13 and explain why they've got what it takes to become the first pub-licist.

So, if you fancy taking part in a pub quiz, sipping on a cold beer or tucking into traditional pub classics – all while getting paid to do so, then we want to hear from you," added Mr Newman.
