White Horse New

The White Horse sits in a prime, high-visibility location on the busy A6 in Westhoughton — a key route through the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton. Positioned on a prominent crossroads and just minutes from the M61, this site offers excellent road connectivity and a strong passing-trade opportunity for an operator looking to run a pub in a well-established, high-traffic area of Greater Manchester.

For more than 20 years, the current publicans have built The White Horse into a true community hub. Known locally for live sport, regular entertainment, and its strong connection to Bolton Wanderers supporters, this is a pub with a loyal customer base and deep roots in the area. (The stadium is only three miles away — ideal for pre- and post-match trade.)

Inside, you’ll find a spacious one-room layout with a well-positioned bar servery that lends itself to high-volume occasions. Outside, the pub benefits from a large beer garden, plus enclosed and covered seating that stays popular year-round for locals, family gatherings, and functions. On-site parking for around 15–20 cars adds extra convenience and widens the catchment.

Currently, The White Horse runs as a drinks-led community pub with no food offer. For the right operator, this represents untapped potential; with investment into the small disused kitchen, there’s scope to introduce a simple, profitable pub food menu and expand the trading opportunity even further.

The first-floor accommodation is spacious and consists of a large lounge, a domestic kitchen, a separate utility, three bedrooms, a store room/bedroom 4, a bathroom, a separate toilet, and an office.
