Brief Pub Description (Used in Acoustic Email)

Fantastic opportunity to run an already established pub within the centre of Lostock Hall and take it to the next level, making it the go-to pub in the area.

Pub Overview

Fantastic Potential

Post refurbishment The Pleasant retreat will be re-named The Tap & Barrel. The pub is perfectly situated in the centre of Lostock Hall, its attractive facade is unmissable as you pass through the centre of town. The pub is found close to the train station, recreational grounds and local shops, meaning there is a steady flow of customers always looking for a quality drink in a stylish upbeat environment.

Transformational works will revitalise The Pleasant Retreat, creating a quirky and stylish pub with an unrivalled drink offering in the area. The pub will be renamed the Tap & Barrel to signal the change in offer to re-position the pub. A tasteful redecoration, with quirky framed artwork, premium leather chairs and copper pendant lighting, will create a standout destination pub in a local setting. The Pleasant Retreat’s upgraded open-plan trading space, with a new central bar and brand-new beer terrace with a feature mural and beer barrel tables, will help establish the pub as a social hub.

The transformational refurbishment, as well as a vibrant beer terrace, will create a stand-out pub capable of trading at all points of the day. Internally, a bright and friendly atmosphere and upgraded food offer to compliment the superlative drinks selection will attract a diverse range of customers, all looking for a great local pub.

Experienced, Friendly Operator Wanted!

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced operator with a proven track record in running successful outlets of this type. They should have sufficient knowledge of developing a good food offering to support 55 covers which will form a significant part of the offer.

Private Accommodation

The private accommodation comprises a lounge, kitchen/ dining area, bathroom, three bedrooms and a separate toilet and where required there will be appropriate works carried out in line with the Star Pubs & Bars Ready to Trade promise.

Trading Area & Facilities

A new entrance lobby will be formed to create an attractive welcome area for customers, indicative of what they can expect from the rest of the pub. New entrance matting will be laid and a dwarf wall with a glazed screen above will be
formed. The bar area will be refurbished and redecorated in line with the classic yet quirky feel of the pub. It will become the perfect space for the whole community to enjoy a casual drink. The raised area will be refurbished to support the new and improved food and drink offering, matching the overall look and feel of the pub. The existing doorway will be blocked up, with a new entrance formed to create a more direct entranceway for customers. The existing kitchen will be refurbished and redecorated throughout, with new appliances and equipment.

A small but unique beer terrace will be formed at the rear of the pub. It will be a welcoming and vibrant area for customers to enjoy a drink during the warmer months. The external area and signage will be refurbished to enhance
the pub’s kerb appeal and highlight the new and improved offer to passing customers.

No parking on-site, but there is a public car park 200 metres away which is exceptionally cheap and free after 18.30 and on Sundays and Public Holidays.
