Property details

The Lord Raglan is located in the heart of Halliwell, just 1.5 miles from Bolton town centre, placing it right at the centre of a thriving and well-populated community. With rows of terraced housing nearby, the pub benefits from strong local footfall and a loyal neighbourhood customer base. Positioned on a busy main road, the Lord Raglan is surrounded by everyday amenities, including a bank, bakery, takeaways, retail stores, and restaurants, all just a short walk away. The area is also home to three other pubs, creating a popular local circuit that attracts regular drinkers and encourages repeat visits throughout the week.

The pub boasts a bright, open-plan layout that creates a welcoming and spacious atmosphere throughout. On entering through the front door, the bar is positioned to the right, while the left-hand side features a dedicated pool area with fixed seating and a TV. Moving further into the venue, the space opens up to a comfortable mix of loose and fixed seating, complemented by additional TVs and a well-defined darts area, making it ideal for both casual visits and social gatherings. Towards the rear, a corridor provides access to the toilet facilities and a rear exit leading to the outdoor area.

Outside, guests can enjoy four bench tables and a covered smoking shelter, offering a practical and inviting space for customers all year round.

The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen/dining area, and a bathroom.

Trading style

The Lord Raglan benefits from a strong and loyal customer base, with steady trade from its 11 am opening and a noticeable uplift in the evenings as locals call in after work. With both SKY Sports and TNT Sports, the pub becomes a real weekend destination, attracting crowds for Bolton matches, Premier League football, and live horse racing. Entertainment continues beyond sport, with a resident DJ bringing Saturday nights to life and live music events hosted once a month, helping to create a vibrant atmosphere and encourage repeat visits.

The BDM is seeking an experienced, community-driven, and sports-focused operator to take on this exciting opportunity. Ideally, applicants will have a proven track record of running a similar style of venue and be locally based, or have previous experience operating pubs within the area. The successful applicant will bring fresh, sales-focused ideas to maximise trade during evenings and weekends, while maintaining a safe, welcoming environment for customers. You will be responsible for planning and delivering a strong weekly entertainment schedule, including quiz nights, bingo, karaoke, and live music, ensuring returns are achieved from the weekly entertainment budget. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong understanding of the local marketplace, have a genuine passion for community engagement, and possess a solid knowledge of sports to help drive footfall and build customer loyalty.
