Star Pubs Leased & Tenancy
Run a Star Pub - Top Lock Hotel Wheelton - Chorley
Job Location
Chorley, United Kingdom
Job Description
Pub Overview
Canal-side, Cask Ale Haven
Despite its picturesque countryside setting, The Top Lock is perfectly placed to draw on customers from surrounding towns and villages. In fact, there are over 1,200 adults living within a 20-minute walk and around 390,000 within a 20-minute drive. Alongside this, its proximity to the Leeds to Liverpool Canal and the West Pennine Moors creates the perfect opportunity for the incoming lessee to market the pub to tourists and walkers looking to savour quality fare in an honest country setting.
A Grade II listed building, The Top Lock is a quintessential rural inn with lots of variety. A tasteful refurbishment will capitalise on this. The refurbishment and redecoration of The Top Lock will create a cosy country pub with a contemporary offering. A roaring log burner and extensive drinks selection will create a cosy internal trading space throughout the year. Outside, the modernised beer garden, with increased covers and the popular ice cream parlour, will create a honeypot of customers during the warmer months.
Please refer to the attached Refurbishment Details for more information.
Destination Pub Specialist Desired
This is a pub with great potential, all we're missing is the right person to drive it forward. So, could that be you?
Features
Trading Area & Facilities
A tasteful refurbishment including painted wall panelling, cosy leather seating and quirky framed artwork will enhance the pub’s existing character, whilst giving it a modern finish.
Externally the pub already enjoys scenic views over the canal and extensive works, including a new pergola, fixed poseur seating and festoon lighting will ensure the pub is the place to be for the whole community throughout the warmer months.
There is a car park located across from the site ensuring ample parking for guests.
Please be aware that all refurbishments are subject to final board approval which will be determined as part of the leasing process.
Where a significant investment is made in a pub by Star Pubs & Bars, an "Investment Exemption" will be required. This means that the option of a Market Rent Option lease won't be available at rent review for a period of up to seven years for this site. This applies to all pubs in England & Wales as per The Pub Code (2016).
