Clarendon, Miles Platting

The Clarendon has the potential to be the hub of its local community, offering weekly entertainment and pub games to engage its regular clientele, while also catering for larger family occasions. We are seeking an experienced, locally based licensee with a genuine passion for running a vibrant, community-focused pub. The successful applicant will be motivated to develop the offer and possess the skills and drive to actively market the business in order to grow sales and strengthen its presence within the area.

The Clarendon is a well-established local pub on Pinehurst Road in Miles Platting, Manchester. Situated in one of the city’s well-known inner-urban neighbourhoods, it lies approximately 2km from Manchester city centre. The surrounding area is predominantly residential, and the pub plays an important role in the local community, serving as a familiar social hub for residents. It is a popular spot for live sport, regular entertainment and after-work drinks. Located just off Oldham Road, The Clarendon benefits from easy access to both Manchester city centre and Oldham, and is well served by regular bus routes.

Pub Layout

The pub operates across two main rooms. The front entrance leads directly into the bar, which is used daily by local regulars. An L-shaped servery on the right-hand side services both trading areas. To the rear is a lounge/function room, primarily used at weekends and for special occasions, offering clear potential for parties and larger gatherings. Both areas feature a mix of loose and fixed seating, and following a recent refurbishment, the pub is presented in good condition throughout. Externally, there is a small drinking area located near the main entrance.

The Clarendon currently operates as a traditional wet-led community pub at the heart of the Monsall estate. It provides an ideal setting for regular entertainment, live sports and team events, charity fundraisers and small functions. Well positioned to meet the everyday needs of local residents, the pub also serves as an important focal point for community activity and social life in the area.
