The Sun
Grandstand is coming to the Sun at Doncaster in early 2027! With huge screens, top-tier entertainment, great food & drink, and an unbeatable atmosphere, our Grandstand pubs are built for people who live and breathe live sport. We don’t just show sport - we live it. From matchdays to live music and big sporting moments, Grandstand pubs are where local communities and fans come together, and where your next partnership could start.
Located in Scawsby, Doncaster, The Sun currently trades at an average of £11,700 in weekly sales with a sales mix of 75/25 in favour of wet sales. Already boasting a loyal local following and consistent footfall from surrounding housing and businesses, the upcoming investment will reposition this site, creating huge potential to grow both sports-led trade and family dining occasions.
We’re looking for an experienced, sports-driven Pub Partner who thrives in high-energy, wet-led environments and knows how to create standout guest experiences week in, week out. Previous food experience is essential, with experience operating branded food offers a strong advantage. You’ll be commercially focused, confident leading large teams, and passionate about using sport, atmosphere and great hospitality to drive results and make your pub the place everyone wants to be.
What’s in it for you?
- 22% share of weekly sales (excluding VAT) plus a guaranteed annual retained sum of £25K (released weekly)
- Low ingoing costs, deposits starting from £5,000 and £360 legal cost. (*deposits can vary dependant on business – ask us for more details*)
- Accommodation included with most bills covered, except the council tax & TV License (*a fee may be payable for some services such as garden maintenance)
As part of our application process, we may use Lily, an AI-powered interviewing assistant to support the early stages of screening. Lily helps us move quickly, keep things flexible for you, and create a more consistent candidate experience, but one thing you should know – all hiring decisions are still made by our people.

All proposed investment is subject to final approval and formal sign‑off in accordance with company governance and capital expenditure approval processes.
