MAJOR INVESTMENT PLANNED
The Town Mouse occupies a prominent position in Burnley, offering an incoming operator a substantial pub with real scope to grow across three revenue streams: wet trade, food and letting rooms.
- Well-proportioned trading areas including bar/lounge and a separate dining space suitable for a wet and food offer.
- 8 letting bedrooms, currently underdeveloped relative to demand, with strong potential to upgrade and market as a standalone revenue stream.
- Trade kitchen in place, ready for investment to support an expanded food operation.
- Beer Garden and terrace overlooking the River Calder.
- Situated next to the new Reel cinema complex.
This is a property built to work harder than it currently does; the bones are there for an operator with the ambition to develop all three sides of the business.

Experienced Operator
Trading style
The Town Mouse has a real opportunity to build on its identity as a genuine community local, layering in food and letting income without losing what makes it work as the local pub.
- Wet trade: the heart of the business — a loyal, regular local following that any incoming operator should protect and build on, not replace.
- Food: currently limited/underdeveloped — an opportunity to add a straightforward, well-executed food offer (pub classics, quality Sunday lunches, food-led sessions) that complements the local community, which includes college, retail and guests visiting the new Reel Cinema.
- Letting rooms: with small investment and proper marketing, the rooms could become a meaningful income stream independent of the bar, appealing to contractors, visitors and events trade in the area and wider Ribble Valley.
- Ideal for an operator who wants to grow food and letting income while keeping the pub's identity firmly as the community local.
The landlords are looking for an experienced operator who can develop the pub, food offering and letting rooms together, while protecting what makes The Town Mouse work as a community local.
- Proven experience running a wet-led community pub, with a genuine understanding of what keeps a loyal local following coming back.
- A track record in food operations, able to introduce a well-executed food offer without turning the pub into a restaurant.
- Experience developing or operating letting/guest accommodation, with the ambition to build the rooms into a standalone income stream.
- Sufficient capital and appetite to invest in the kitchen and bedrooms to realise the site's full potential.
- A hands-on operator who wants to build all three sides of the business rather than focus on just one.
