The pubs in and around Worcester currently needing a landlord

Well, with a bit of investment there are a number of tenancy agreements - where you pay the rent, bills and staff costs - available on boozers from Worcester to Droitwich.

And, in many cases, private accommodation is included - so you could be getting a home as well as a business.

Here is a selection of the pubs needing a landlord according to the findmypub.com website.

There are some newbies on the list since we last collated all the pubs in need of an innkeeper, but there are some which are yet to be matched with an opportunist landlord, too.
