White House pub set to re-open soon?

The sign outside the White House has re-appeared

The once hugely popular White House pub on Oldham Edge could be set to re-open soon.

Despite undergoing a refit only last year, the White House closed down and was boarded up earlier this year.

However, a new sign was erected outside the Samuel Smith Brewery-owned establishment this morning (Friday), with a note underneath appealing for interested management couples to get in touch if they are interested in running the pub.

A post on the Samuel Smith website reads: “We’re looking for couples to manage our pubs, preferably local to the pub.

“In every case a good manager’s flat is provided rent-free with no utility costs.

“We prefer to recruit couples who haven’t run a pub before and are from the communities near to where our pubs are situated.

“We give full training at the brewery, including a personal licence course.

“We don’t charge for the training, except £39 for the personal licence course and £1,000 deposited fidelity bond.”

If you are interested in managing the White House pub, call 07771 555354.
