The Pinny is a traditional pub situated just off Penrith's high street, surrounded by a mix of shops, takeaways and other local businesses. Ideally located in the heart of the town, it benefits from excellent transport links, with the train station, bus routes and taxi services all within easy reach. Just three miles from the stunning Lake District National Park, the pub is well placed to attract both locals and visitors exploring the area. Its convenient location, only 17 miles from Carlisle, further enhances its appeal for locals and tourists.
On entry, the bar welcomes you with its open plan and inviting layout, offering a comfortable and vibrant atmosphere. To your right, you’ll find the bar area, which features two large TVs. The bar area itself is predominantly furnished with fixed seating, creating a cosy and communal space where guests can relax and enjoy their visit. For those who prefer a more elevated seating option, a few taller tables with stools are available, adding variety. To the rear of the pub is a darts board & pool table enjoyed by the locals and the pool team on a regular basis. The pub has a good product range with affordable pricing; there are numerous weekday promotions, making it popular for locals wanting value for money is a great little community pub.
There is a huge opportunity to grow this pub by establishing a strong rhythm of the week and giving customers more reasons to visit throughout the week. Friday and Saturday nights currently generate the majority of sales, with DJ and karaoke evenings driving footfall. Introducing midweek activities, such as quizzes or bingo, could help build trade on quieter days and encourage repeat visits. The pub already has a pool team and a darts board, providing a great foundation to build on. Establishing a darts team and exploring sponsorship opportunities with local sports teams would help strengthen community relationships and attract new customers. Proper Pubs will provide Sky Sports, allowing the new operator to make sport a key part of the pub’s offer. This means more than simply switching on the TVs for a match; it’s about creating an atmosphere, encouraging customers to arrive early, stay afterwards and spend more time in the pub.
The focus should be on building a consistent weekly offer that drives sales, increases customer dwell time, and establishes the pub as a real hub for the local community.

The BDM is looking for someone who gets stuck in, thinks outside the box, and isn’t afraid to try something new.

The foundations are here. Now the landlords need the right person to bring the energy, build the business, and make this pub a real hub for its local community.
