Property details
The Red Cat Crank sits in the rural village of Crank, close to Rainford and within easy reach of St Helens. Surrounded by countryside and local walking routes, the area attracts both regular local trade and visitors exploring the wider region. Nearby attractions, including Carr Mill Dam and the surrounding woodland, help support the pub’s position as a popular destination throughout the year.
Inside, the pub is arranged across four distinct areas, allowing it to cater for everything from casual drinks and relaxed dining to larger gatherings and special occasions. A cosy snug bar sits at the front of the pub, while separate lounge areas, including one centred around a large log burner, provide comfortable spaces throughout the year. A dedicated function and dining room at the rear creates additional opportunity for private events, celebrations and community gatherings.
Food plays an important role in the business, with a well-established reputation for hearty pub favourites and popular Sunday lunches. The existing offer provides a strong platform for an operator looking to build on the pub’s food credentials while maintaining its welcoming village pub feel.
Outside, the pub boasts a fully stocked outdoor bar, dedicated BBQ area and covered seating spaces that make the most of its countryside setting. A large customer car park adds convenience and helps support both everyday trade and larger events.
The pub includes private on-site accommodation, comprising three bedrooms, a kitchen and a lounge. The accommodation has also recently benefited from investment, providing a comfortable and well-presented living space, allowing an incoming publican to settle in quickly.
