Property details
The Britannia is located on Hall Green in Upholland, within Skelmersdale, and is surrounded by a strong residential catchment. This gives it access to a steady flow of regular trade from nearby customers who value a familiar, welcoming local. Upholland is well connected, with straightforward access to Liverpool, Wigan, Preston, and Southport, allowing the pub to benefit from both local and wider catchment areas. The combination of a large local population and good connectivity creates a solid platform for sustainable trade and repeat custom.
The pub sits at the heart of a well‑established residential area in Upholland and offers a genuine opportunity to run a busy, community‑focused pub. It already benefits from a loyal base of local customers and has the foundations in place to grow into a true meeting place for the area.
Inside, the pub provides separate trading areas, including a public bar and lounge, with space that can be adapted for everyday drinking, sports, entertainment, events, and a simple food offer. The catering kitchen is in place, and there is capacity for around 40-50 covers, giving the option to introduce or develop food alongside the drinks trade. Wi-Fi is available throughout, and the presence of cask ale supports a traditional pub feel. The layout also includes a function room, which will become an important part of the pub once brought fully back into use. This creates the opportunity to host regular events such as live music, quizzes, social gatherings, and community groups, helping to build consistent trade across the week.
Outside, the Britannia benefits from a beer garden and a designated smoking area, offering additional space for customers, particularly during the warmer months. There is also parking available for up to four vehicles.
The pub includes private on‑site accommodation comprising two bedrooms, along with a private kitchen and lounge.

Trading style
The Britannia will benefit from a full internal investment, subject to full approval, designed to modernise the look and feel throughout while bringing key areas of the pub back into full use. The plan is to include new flooring and carpets, full internal decoration, and upgraded lighting, along with improvements to the back bar. The upstairs function and games room will be brought back into use to create a proper, usable space for events and community activity. The outdoor courtyard will also be reworked to improve the layout and make it a more practical and appealing space for customers.
Overall, the works will give a new publican the chance to relaunch a refreshed pub that feels up to date while still serving its local community.
This opportunity will suit a hands‑on, community‑minded publican or partnership who enjoys being visible and building relationships with local customers. Someone who can create a friendly, inclusive atmosphere and maintain consistent standards will do well here.
There is clear scope to grow the business by developing a regular events schedule, making full use of the function space, and introducing or building a simple food offer alongside the bar. A publican who understands the importance of community, sport, social occasions, and consistency will be well placed to bring the Britannia back to life following the planned investment.
