DB MERCH
Fancy A DB T Shirt This Christmas
Here’s a little website all of it’s own where you can show off your favourite Boozer or Chicken Shop!
Have a look HERE
FULL TIME FRONT OF HOUSE
The Drawing Board
Is looking for a ‘Full Time Front Of House Person’ to join the team.
Can someone find me a sharp witted, food loving, personality having, passionate workaholic please?!! and for the love of God, let them have a sense of humour and let them tell their own faces!
For the award winning DB its year 7 and we’re looking for full time people, maybe future Managers in the making. We’re amassing a small Independent army to slowly take over the Midlands (obviously)
As a Full Timer you are a key member of the team and will be expected to support the other managers as the ‘right hand’ people in all aspects of sharing responsibility for the day to day running of the pub. You’ll be (in time) more than happy pouring delicious pints and waiting tables.
You’ll need to be a real foodie; have a real passion for decent beer and wine; enjoy looking after others and help build and direct a happy crew. The role will therefore be very hands-on and pretty varied encompassing people management, food and drink, customer service & day to day pub maintenance. This is a 24/7 full on front of house, customer facing, people loving cabaret!
At the end of the day the most important quality we look for in all our people is strength of personality. We like fun characters who set the bar high and have an eye for detail.
We’ll reward you with a cracking salary plus tips. If this sounds like your cup of tea/glass of wine/pint of beer get in touch via email – send us a copy of your CV & a bit of a nattery type cover letter…
hello@thedrawingboard.pub
The Drawing Board was established in 2015. It is an independent Free House in Leamington Spa- apparently the happiest place to live in the country (I have my doubts but who am I to argue?) we won The Great British Pub Awards Best Beer Pub in 2019 which we’re still harping on about amongst other various prestigious gongs over the last few years.
The DB Tap & Bottle
Greetings Loyal Shoppers & Tappers- You may be aware of some talk of rising energy costs being bandied around in the news lately. Sadly, The DB Bottle Shop is not immune to these rises and so it is with a smidge of sadness that as of this Saturday (probably), we shall be folding The DB Shop, back into The DB Tap, hence this post.
The brief DB Tap Instagram account will cease to be, so if you’re not already following @thedbbottleshop, please amend this forthwith.
Keep an eye out, as we have lots of exciting events happening over the course of the next few months down here at The Drawing Board Tap & Bottle (DBTB) – Leamington’s smallest Craft Beer Shop & Bar.
Watch this space.
If you weren’t aware of any movement then you’ll be blissful in your ignorance.

TINY REBEL 10th Birthday
As you may already know, or have guessed, our pals at Tiny Rebel are 10!
A big milestone like this deserves a big celebration, so they’ve created their best ever birthday beers in a special 10th Birthday Box to celebrate.
Naturally we’re getting involved at both The Tap, The Shop & The Pub.
As always there will be plenty of merch & chances to win goody bags.
Triple Tropica – 10%. Our OG, Clwb, but triple the recipe, triple the flavour. Not to be missed.
Imperial Bourbon Pecan Pie Pastry Stout – 9%. Indulge, yes please! Rich maple bourbon pecan pie wrapped in a pastry stout.
Vic Secret On Galaxy DIPA – 7.2%. Two of our favourite hops for a bright tropical double IPA full of burnt orange and peach.
Hazy White – 4.4%. American IPA and Belgian Wit married for a fruity, spicy mix. A light bready maltiness and a dry refreshing finish.
Cold Fermented IPA – 4.5%. This beers is fermented at a much lower than normal temperature, giving better mouthfeel, a fuller body and rounded bold flavours.
Wood Aged Belgian Birthday Cake – 11%. It’s our birthday so this was a must. Strong notes of vanilla, oak and chocolate. The only thing missing, the candle.
Cask Conditioned Citra Milkshake IPA – 4.2%. We love cask here at Tiny Rebel HQ. This beer is as close to a cask beer as possible from a can, smooth and silky.
Mixed Berry Double Froozie Sour – 7%. Our latest passion, Froozie Sours. Full of blackcurrant for a tart jamminess.
Carrot, Apple & Mandarin Sour – 5.8%. Carrot, but not as you know it. Alongside fruit, a perfect balance of sweet and sour.
White Chocolate & Caramac Pale Ale – 7%. Caramac is back and we’ve rediscovered our love. We’ve blended it with white chocolate to create a velvety smooth and rich pale ale.
FRONT OF HOUSE JOBS
Assistant Manager
We’re looking for a full time Assistant Manager to join our experienced crew. It’s a busy old place that prides itself on the highest customer service and doing things pretty darn well (if I do say so myself)
This is not your first foray into management or your first rodeo – ideally you’ve been well versed in the ways of hospitality for a few years now. Either way we’re looking to indoctrinate you into our way of life so that we can continue with our plans of world domination. What is really important is your ability to thrive as part of a team & display genuine love for the trade. You’ll join the management team with the full support of a GM & Deputy – backed up by some of the fluffiest staff in Leamington Spa.
We’ll reward you with a cracking salary and tips. That’s not a bad swap!
We’re an award winning independent business that absolutely acts like one – we are not a faceless corporation and we do what makes us happy rather than what we’re told. We seem to like spinning plates and can always use more hands!
If this sounds like your cup of tea/glass of wine/pint of beer get in touch via email – send us a copy of your CV & a bit of a nattery type cover letter. hello@thedrawingboard.pub
