The Fleece Inn is a well-presented, three-room community pub at the heart of Allerton, offering a warm, homely atmosphere and plenty of space for busy trading periods. This is a true locals’ pub with a strong and loyal customer base, making it a great opportunity for an operator who loves community engagement and sport-led hospitality.
Inside, the pub features a large lounge, a dedicated pool room and a cosy snug used for meetings, small gatherings and team events. The layout is supported by back-to-back bar serverys that serve both the lounge and bar areas efficiently, creating a smooth flow during peak times. The décor throughout is in good order and helps maintain a comfortable, welcoming feel.
Sport is a key part of the pub’s identity. Pub teams, darts, pool and live televised sport all drive regular footfall and give the Fleece its lively community atmosphere. Entertainment also plays a big role, with karaoke nights and DJs proving popular with regulars and visitors. As there is no commercial kitchen, the business thrives on drinks trade, sports activity and entertainment rather than food.
This opportunity would suit a hands-on operator who enjoys being part of village life and is confident in building on the existing entertainment schedule, developing pub teams and championing all things sport. Someone with genuine local knowledge or ties to the area would be well placed to grow the pub even further.
Externally, the pub benefits from a front fenced patio area that is used as a drinking terrace and smoking space. To the rear, there is customer parking for approximately six to eight vehicles, adding convenience for visitors and supporting evening and weekend trade.
For operators looking to run a vibrant, sport-focused and community-driven pub in Allerton, The Fleece Inn offers a strong foundation and plenty of potential.
There is a very large living area above the pub comprising 3 large bedrooms, a large bathroom and kitchen, and a small office.
