ONE PUB wants to pay a Salisbury resident to drink beer and take part in a pub quiz.

The Greyfisher Hungry Horse pub on Ayleswade Road has launched a search for the UK’s first ever ‘Pub-licist’ and is encouraging locals to apply for the role, which will include drinking beer and catching up with friends in return for a £500 salary.

As well as drinking on the job, the role include attending entertainment events at the local pub, watching sports and playing the odd game of darts, pool or snooker.

The 'Pub-licist' will also be required to make a number of visits to their local, in order to provide feedback and recommendations to help make their pub the best in the country.

Each task must be reviewed thoroughly and key feedback provided to management, to help the pub stay ahead of competitors and retain its role as the hub of the community.

The winning candidate should know their cask from their craft, be a pro at pub quizzes and be a key player in any pub sports tournaments.

Gina Byrne, general manager at the Greyfisher, said: “Nothing beats the atmosphere and comradery of a local pub – and it really is the guests who make it such a great place to be.

“We’re searching for a pub fanatic who just loves a trip to their local, to become our first ever Pub-licist and help us to become the best pub the country.

“So, if you fancy taking part in a pub quiz, sipping on a cold beer or watching the big game, all while getting paid to do so, then we want to hear from you.

"We’d love it if the UK’s first ever Pub-licist was from Salisbury!”
