Property details
Located in the village of Lostock Hall near Preston, The Pleasant Retreat sits just a couple of miles from the city centre, surrounded by established housing and several new-build estates. This historic area has strong railway links and is home to St Catherine’s Hospice and the new Lancashire Cricket Centre of Excellence, enhancing local footfall. Situated close to the village centre, shops, and main road connecting Preston, Penwortham, and Leyland, this is a well-positioned site for a standout community pub. There are 6,001 people within a 10-minute walk of the pub, including 4,823 adults. The area supports a mix of medium to high footfall from locals and visitors alike, with three competitor pubs nearby - two operated by Star Pubs and one by Trust Inns.
The Pleasant Retreat will be undergoing a refurbishment, which will cover the interior and exterior of the pub.
The pub's trading area and facilities post refurbishment will be:
- Main trading area with bar
- Separate dining room
- Catering kitchen
- Function room
- HEINEKEN SmartDispense
- Pub garden
The private accommodation comprises three bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen/dining area, a bathroom, and a separate toilet.

Trading style
This refurbishment will fully redecorate the trading areas, bar, and toilets internally, while external enhancements will include fresh signage, lighting, and decoration to elevate kerb appeal. Positioned as a traditional yet modern community pub, it will retain its welcoming village character while becoming one of the best-presented venues in the area. Though there is no current food offer, there is an opportunity for a new operator to bring the redundant kitchen back into use if desired. The drinks range will span core to premium products, with Heineken brands and guest beers from across the UK. Entertainment will include Sky Sports, BT, and local events like bingo and quizzes.
