Could you run this pub?
Cooksons Bridge is a traditional, community value pub which is drinks led business with an opportunity to offer bar food. It sits in a great location beside a canal and a busy road.

Its a pub popular for offering great drinks, live sports and needs a passionate operator with great personality and enthusiasm who can make this the place to be for local residents and passers by. The pub is also in great condition having benefited from a refurbishment that was completed in January 2018, with a lovely traditional feel, feature fireplaces and a warm and welcoming interior.

Business facilities
The trading space is a two-room operation, with a lounge bar and a function room. Televised sport plays a big role here with live sports shown across six TVs and a large screen. The majority of business is on wet trade but the presence of a small kitchen means there's also the facility to offer food as required, especially buffets catering for customers using the function room. Outside, the front of the pub offers a few tables and seating for customers to relax and enjoy the warmer summer days and there is plenty of parking with a large 40-space car park to the rear. The pub also offers WiFi.
