Property details
The Pineapple Inn is prominently situated on a busy cross road in Astley Bridge. The pub is the end building on a parade of shops in a highly populated area, surrounded by housing and opposite a large 24 hour supermarket. Astley Bridge itself is a suburb of Bolton, it is approximately two miles from the town centre.
The Pineapple is a modern pub in good condition throughout. On entering the pub, you are faced with the bar servery with a sports area to the left side, which has a pool table and darts area. To the right, there is a small lounge area for up to 20 covers. The ladies' and gents toilets are located to the rear of the pub, with a small catering kitchen located to the left.
There are two small patio areas which act as sun traps during the summer months. Although there is no car park, there is ample street parking close by. The pub is well-positioned to grow its trade over the summer months by applying for an outdoor pavement licence from the local council. Located on a busy road junction near the town centre, it benefits from high levels of passing footfall, offering strong potential for increased custom.
The living accommodation is extensive and comprises of a lounge, office, three bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom/toilet. The accommodation is in good condition.

Trading style
The pub could be promoted as a ‘sports bar’ with a strong programme of weekend entertainment and the addition of a simple but well-done back bar menu, especially on a weekend to attract new customers into the establishment and keep them in. The pub offers a friendly environment with a good range of standard and premium drinks with trade-up options. It is currently home to a darts team, and there is an opportunity to attract more teams to boost midweek trade. The regulars currently enjoy live sports on the well-positioned big screen TVs.
The Pineapple should be a busy, vibrant community pub with a strong rhythm of the week, with great potential to introduce new pub teams, such as pool. The provision of live sport through Sky and TNT, as well as delivering a comprehensive entertainment programme with live music, DJs, and pub events on a weekend, will be essential to make the pub a success. The new licensee will also need to demonstrate they can appeal to new potential customer groups by attracting local community groups and developing a simple but affordable food menu. The ability to deliver a strong marketing plan, promote the pub through social media channels, and provide excellent customer service are essential. The landlords are looking for passionate, ambitious operators who have the necessary drive, vision, and ambition to unlock the potential of this pub.
