Property details
The Bay Mare is an end-of-terrace listed building on a main busy road, the A666 linking Blackburn to Bolton. Surrounding the pub are plenty of residential housing and a variety of local businesses, including takeaways and convenience shops. The pub is located in Astley Bridge, North Bolton, which is approximately two miles from the town centre of Bolton, Greater Manchester. The nearest train station is Hall i' th' Wood, about a 5–10 minute walk away, depending on the route, with trains running to Bolton, Manchester Victoria and on to Blackburn. There are also plenty of bus routes in the area.
The pub retains some of its historic layout with a small snug to the front right-hand side of the pub and to the rear is a games area which is home to the pool table and dart board. The left-hand side of the pub is the main lounge area and benefits from a featured fireplace. The central bar servery sits in the middle of the pub and services all rooms and is a great place for the regulars to gather. There are TV screens located throughout the pub making viewing of live sporting events accessible from all areas.
Externally is an enclosed yard with bench seating perfect for the summer, and a smoking solution.
The private accommodation is located on the first floor. This consists of four good-sized bedrooms (one room can be used as a dining room or a bedroom dependant on individual requirements), a lounge, a kitchen and a bathroom.

Trading style
The Bay Mare has a friendly, welcoming, and local feel. Trade is currently made up purely of drinks sales and is very much the hub of the community, and on a drinking circuit with other pubs in close proximity. The pub has previously benefited from being home to sports teams, including darts, pool, and dominoes. Entertainment is key here for customers looking for that big night out on evenings and weekends, so there is plenty of scope for the new licensee to develop a strong rhythm of the week and an excellent drinks range tailored to the local demand, including the introduction of cask ale, which has been popular in the past. There is also the potential to introduce some back-bar food, such as a pie warmer.
This is a community-driven local pub, popular with sports teams and regulars watching live sport. The landlords are looking for potential licensees who are familiar with the area and will be enthusiastic and passionate about engaging the local community and passing trade. They will need to have a strong vision to drive the business forward, such as introducing a ‘rhythm of the week’. There is also huge potential to introduce cask ale into the pub to grow sales. The landlords are keen to invest in the Bay Mare to update the private quarters and trading area without losing its welcoming charm.
The refurbishment is subject to full Board approval. All designs are drafts and indicative only, intended to showcase the potential of the pub. The refurbishment will be refined and personalised once a long-term licensee is secured, incorporating their vision for the look and feel of the business.
