£300,000 Investment to Reopen Britannia Inn, Mossley – New Licensee Sought as Major Railway Upgrade Brings Huge Potential

Mossley, Greater Manchester – Pub Open Day 24th September – 10-3pm

A landmark £300,000 investment is set to breathe new life into a much-loved local pub as the Britannia Inn in Mossley prepares for a full refurbishment and reopening. Even more exciting, the pub’s location is about to become a key transport hub, with Mossley Railway Station relocating directly outside the Britannia Inn as part of the £11.5 billion TransPennine Route Upgrade.

Perfectly placed on the popular Real Ale Trail, the Britannia Inn is set to become a thriving destination pub — offering a warm welcome, quality cask ales, a premium drinks range, and hearty home-cooked food to locals, walkers, commuters, and ale enthusiasts alike.

The transformation will include:

  • A fully refreshed bar area
  • Modernised dining spaces
  • Upgraded kitchen facilities
  • A new beer terrace overlooking the main road and railway station — the perfect spot to sit back and watch the world go by

All designed to create a high-quality, premium wet-led community pub with a strong food offer, catering to both everyday visitors and destination drinkers.

With a flagship investment, growing local footfall, and a prominent position on the ale trail, Admiral Taverns is now seeking a passionate, entrepreneurial licensee to take the Britannia Inn into its exciting next chapter.

“This is an incredibly rare and exciting opportunity,” said Anthony Briggs, Business Development Manager at Admiral Taverns. “The combination of a £300,000 investment, the station relocation right to the pub’s doorstep, and its place on the Real Ale Trail makes this a dream business for the right licensee.”
