Watford Pubs Seek New Operators: Horns, Oddfellows & More Available

Pub companies own many pubs. People can run these pubs for them using tenancy or operator agreements. Operators sometimes leave. Then, temporary people manage things. The companies look for long-term replacements.

Several Watford pubs need new operators right now. Avabar needs someone, and a sign asks people to run it. It was once called The Horns. Stonegate says the rent is about £865 weekly. It is open now.

Oddfellows has a temporary manager because the old manager left in January. Heineken wants someone to share profits, and it costs £4,000 to start. The pub is near Watford FC and had updates in 2023.

The Rifle Volunteer closed last year. Stonegate wants someone experienced and is offering a tenancy. The rent is about £653 per week, and the pub is in Oxhey.

The Cother Arms needs a new manager since the old landlady left in January. It was The Wishing Well in 2022. The pub is open, and Heineken offers a profit-share deal, with starting costs of £2,000. It honors the Cother brothers.
