Greene King Pubs own a number of different venues within Edinburgh, providing an extensive lunch and dinner menu, as well as drinks and live sport.

The company have listed The Centurion on their website, saying: "We will expect you to be energised and genuine with your customers, become an active part of the community and get to know your regulars whilst being nicely nosey."

They have also included that live sport, pub food and regular events will be at the heart of the pub to attract a broad customer base.

Greene King Pubs are looking for business partner who is looking for an easy way into the industry, without having to break the bank with entry costs. They are offering to supply all running costs, including stock.

There is also access to a two bedroom flat above the property that can be negotiated into the agreement, if the tenants are looking for accommodation.

Iain Thomson, of Greene King Pubs, said: "I am seeking an experienced couple or individual with pub management experience who can meet our licensee profile and effectively deliver the offer within our franchise agreement.

"The Pub Franchise Agreement allows those with the relevant experience to launch their own business, without the high costs or risks of a traditional tenancy. If you feel this may suit you, then please contact the recruitment team for further information."
