Property details
The Railway sits on the edge of Leyland town centre, next to the mainline railway station. Around 5,028 adults live within walking distance of the pub, creating a strong local catchment alongside the potential to attract passing customers. There are three other pubs locally, giving the area an established pub scene while the Railway's location and extensive facilities provide a clear opportunity to stand out.
The pub currently attracts a predominantly drinks-focused customer base. Following the refurbishment, it will be repositioned as a premium local with broader appeal, attracting families and casual diners during the day and early evening, alongside higher-tempo occasions at weekends and function trade. A quality home-cooked food offer, premium sports viewing, occasional live entertainment and a significantly upgraded garden will give customers more reasons to visit throughout the week.
The pub's trading area and facilities post refurbishment will be:
- Main trading area with bar
- Snug area
- Separate games and sports zone with darts
- 161 internal covers, including more than 100 dining covers
- 172 external covers
- Catering kitchen
- Function room
- HEINEKEN SmartDispense system
- Refurbished private accommodation with two bedrooms, lounge and bathroom
- Revamped pub garden
- 72-space car park
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen.

A refurbishment in the region of £551,000 is planned for the Railway, transforming it into a premium local pub with a strong food, drink, sports, and entertainment offer.
Complete external decoration and new signage will give the Railway a stronger roadside presence, improve visibility and clearly communicate its new positioning as a premium local pub.
Inside, decoration throughout will create a more premium setting for drinking, dining and community occasions. New dining space will support a strong home-cooked food proposition, while premium sports viewing, a dedicated sports area with darts, occasional live entertainment and the function room will help the pub serve a wider range of occasions across the week.
The outside area will be extensively upgraded to create a standout garden with 172 external covers. Together with the pub's 161 internal covers and large car park, this will give the operator the capacity to grow dining, functions, sports-led visits and seasonal trade.
This investment will make better use of the Railway's extensive trading areas and modernise the customer experience throughout the pub. The combination of food, drink, sport, entertainment, functions and a destination garden is expected to broaden its appeal and increase visit frequency across the week.
As a result of the transformation, turnover is anticipated to increase by around 300%.
If you've benefited from running or owning a pub business, the landlords would love to hear what experience you can bring. The right operator for the Railway will have extensive experience in high-volume, food-led hospitality businesses. They will have a clear vision for the pub's home-cooked food and drink menu, entertainment programme and marketing strategy, and can create a memorable experience for their customers.
If this sounds like the incredible pub opportunity you've been waiting for, apply today and tell the landlords what you can bring to this pub's next chapter.
