Residents across the Gedling borough are being scouted for what might be the best job ever – pub tester.
Heineken Smart Dispense have announced plans to hire seven Green Pub Testers, whose difficult job it will be to sample food and drink at some of the nation’s greenest pubs.
Testers will visit pubs listed in the Green Pub Guide in their region, experiencing the eco-friendly atmosphere, food and drink, before reviewing the pub in a brief video. This is in a bid to encourage people to visit environmentally sustainable businesses.
The Green Pub Guide was created by Smart Dispense back in August. It features pubs from across the country who are putting sustainability at the forefront of their operations.
The Green Pub Guide was created by Smart Dispense back in August. It features pubs from across the country who are putting sustainability at the forefront of their operations.
55 pubs from up and down the country are already featured on the list, including Ye Olde Bridge Inn at Oxton, near Southwell.
Eight pubs from across the East Midlands are featured on the Green list.
The seven testers chosen will receive their and their plus one’s pub expenses paid for and a bonus £500 when they have successfully completed their assignments.
Candice Brown, 2016 winner of GBBO, who has partnered with The Green Pub Guide said: “This role is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for sustainably minded pub fans up and down the country. To be able to review these trailblazing pubs and see the green revolution in action, and get paid for it, is an incredible opportunity.
“I can’t wait to see what they report back. I’ll definitely be looking for inspiration and ideas to take back to my own pub, The Green Man!”
Chelsea Wroe, head of sustainability at Heineken UK said: “We know how passionate Brits are about their locals, so we’re looking for seven individuals with a keen interest in sustainability to take that one step further and enjoy a closer look at the pubs featured in our inaugural Green Pub Guide.
“With 4 in 5 consumers changing their spending patterns based on an outlets’ sustainability credentials, we want to see what effect this choice has on pub-goers’ experiences, and that’s where our Green Pub Testers come in. We’re looking forward to seeing what potential candidates could bring to the role – and how those selected get on with their assignments!”
To apply, hopefuls need to submit a short statement explaining what they love about British pubs and why sustainability is important to GreenPubGuide@Cirkle.com.
They will also need to submit a video of between 30 and 120 seconds sharing their favourite pub memories – this should be shared through a private Youtube link, Vimeo, or other social media channel. For more information, visit the Green Pub Guide website.
