Property details
Crowton is a small and attractive Cheshire village set within rolling countryside. The pub is positioned next to Crowton Christ Church CE Primary School, with a stream running through the grounds, adding to its rural charm and destination feel. The surrounding area offers plenty to explore, including Delamere Forest and the Anderton Boat Lift, both a short drive away. Northwich is around 15 minutes away, while Chester and Liverpool can be reached within an hour, helping to support visitor and destination trade alongside strong village custom.
The Hare & Hounds is a popular village pub located in the heart of Crowton, Cheshire. Full of character and warmth, it blends traditional pub charm with a strong community focus, making it a natural meeting place for locals and visitors alike.
The pub benefits from separate trading areas, including a snug, a cosy lounge bar, a central public bar and a conservatory used for more formal dining, providing around 60 covers in total. This variety allows the pub to trade comfortably across different occasions, from casual drinks through to meals and small celebrations. Food currently plays a supporting role, with a clear opportunity for a skilled publican to introduce and develop a quality food offer that complements a strong drinks trade. Events, seasonal promotions and private use of the function space also offer further scope to grow the business.
Outside, the pub sits on a generous plot with a beer garden, outdoor seating, a smoking solution and parking for up to 25 cars.
The pub includes private on‑site accommodation, comprising three bedrooms, a private kitchen and a private lounge.

Trading style
Subject to full approval, the Hare & Hounds will benefit from an investment designed to refresh and brighten the pub while retaining its character. This includes external decoration, with the opportunity to update the colour scheme, along with an internal refresh to key trading areas. The existing booth seating is also in the process of being recovered, improving comfort and overall presentation, helping to create a more consistent and inviting space for customers.
This opportunity will suit a community‑minded publican or partnership who enjoys running a village pub with depth and variety.
Experience in food or catering management would be a strong advantage for someone looking to introduce and grow a quality food offer over time. Just as important will be the ability to build local relationships, maintain consistency, and create a pub where both regulars and new faces feel at home.
