Property details
The Jolly Crofter has recently undergone an investment, which included full external and internal decoration. The pub has excellent transport links with Stockport Railway Station, a very short walk away, and sits on the high street with good bus and taxi links. Edgeley High Street has, as well as competitor pubs, a wide range of takeaways and eateries, and smaller local bespoke shops. The pub is situated at the top end of the high street opposite a conveniently located bookmaker's, which the customers use daily when watching the racing channels in the pub.
The “Crofter” is small and compact, but don’t let that fool you as it is busy from opening right through until close, and on match days the customers spill out onto the street. Situated at the head of the High Street, the Jolly Crofter serves as both the first and last call on the circuit for many locals. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a dynamic layout that caters to various interests and preferences. To the right of the entrance lies the bustling bar area, complete with a state-of-the-art dartboard and multiple TVs broadcasting live sports events. Customers can enjoy a refreshing drink while catching up on the latest matches or engaging in friendly competition on the dartboard. Tucked away in the corner is the karaoke area, loved by anyone who fancies a sing-along. The mix of loose and fixed seating ensures there's space for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. On the left side, there is comfortable seating and an area that can be used for cribs and dominoes. The area provides the perfect setting for casual games and relaxed conversations among friends.
The Jolly Crofter offers more than just a lively pub atmosphere; it also provides comfortable and convenient private accommodation on the first floor. With three bedrooms, a kitchen, a lounge, and a bathroom, this space is ideal for a couple or a family. The accommodation is clean and the decor and flooring saw investment in 2024, the private quarters also has an enclosed spacious roof terrace, as there is no garden space.

Trading style
The Jolly Crofter is a true High Street pub that benefits from additional footfall on match days, being so close to the local football stadium. It shows live sports throughout the week and has space for Darts, Crib, and Dominoes. With daily access to the recent installation of a karaoke wall, it attracts customers from the many pubs, restaurants, and takeaways on the high street circuit, and Edgeley is fast becoming the local place to go.
The BDM is seeking an applicant who has a good understanding of the local marketplace, as well as being community-focused with a good knowledge of Sports. Experience in running a similar venue would be advantageous, and applicants must have the right sales-focused ideas to maximise sales before and after games, whilst ensuring customers are served in a safe environment. You will need to plan and execute weekly entertainment such as quizzes, bingo, and make use of the karaoke wall installed this year, giving access to all-day, every-day Karaoke. A good and confident host would be advantageous. The Jolly Crofter is small but has a mighty reputation and a fantastic following by Stockport County Fans, and is the home fans' only pub on matchdays, and needs an experienced community and sports operator obsessed operator.
