A Little About Quality Inns
Quality Inns is a family-run pub group with 15 individual pubs across Gloucestershire and Devon.
We’re not a traditional chain. Each pub has its own personality, from its food and atmosphere to the community it serves. What brings us together is a shared commitment to good food, friendly service and creating places where people want to return.
As we continue to grow and develop our pubs, there are opportunities for people who want to build their careers with us.
Important Information
Our pubs are in rural locations, so applicants must be able to arrange their own transport. Public transport is limited and may not be suitable for early starts or late finishes.
