Located on Firs Lane, the pub is perfectly situated for the surrounding community and is just half a mile from the town centre.

Pub Layout
Upon entering through the foyer, you are welcomed into the heart of the pub by a central bar that serves all areas, creating a strong focal point for customers. To the right is a raised area featuring a darts oche, offering a flexible space that can also host live entertainment or be comfortably sectioned off for small functions and community gatherings. The main trading area is a good size and carpeted throughout, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. It is furnished with a combination of fixed and loose seating in keeping with the pub’s décor, along with bar stools positioned around the bar. Private living accommodation is accessed from behind the bar, offering practical and convenient operator access. The beer garden is accessed via the rear of the pub, which also leads to the ladies’ and gents’ toilets. This is a fantastic outdoor space, featuring several wooden benches and offering great potential for social occasions and seasonal events. A small seating area to the front of the pub provides additional outdoor drinking space and enhances the pub’s street presence.
The Spinners is a community pub that benefits from strong local support and a loyal customer base. The pub has a clear sports focus, with Rugby League proving particularly popular, supported by the success of the Leigh Leopards. Live sport is a key driver, with both Sky Sports and TNT Sports shown throughout the pub. The pub is also home to an established darts team, further strengthening its community appeal. A varied drinks range is offered, with strong potential to drive sales through well-planned promotions and attractive drinks offers. Entertainment has historically performed well, with live music and quiz nights proving popular. The incoming operator will have the opportunity to build on this by developing a strong and consistent rhythm of the week, creating regular reasons for customers to visit and engage with the pub.
The private accommodation is in excellent condition consisting of three bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and bathroom.
