Old Original Bay Horse

The ideal operator will be someone who can make their mark on this fantastic community pub while delivering an exceptional customer experience. They will have the vision and enthusiasm to put their own stamp on the business, developing a varied and engaging weekly entertainment programme designed to maximise footfall and drive sales throughout the week.

Live sport should be a major focus, with significant opportunities to establish The Old Original Bay Horse as the go-to venue in Horwich for watching all the action. Creating a vibrant atmosphere on matchdays and big sporting occasions will be key to attracting new customers and building on the pub's existing success.

The pub also benefits from a loyal and well-established customer base, making strong customer relationships and community engagement essential. An operator who embraces local fundraising initiatives, supports community projects, and positions the pub as a true hub of village life will be well placed to unlock its full potential and drive long-term growth.
