Property details
The Horse & Jockey is on a busy arterial road in Appleton, approximately 1.5 miles from Widnes town centre. Widnes is a large industrial town situated on the banks of the River Mersey approximately 12 miles from Liverpool city centre. The pub is only 1/2km from Widnes train station (famous for being the location where Paul Simon wrote the lyrics to ‘Homeward Bound’) which is approximately 10-15 minutes from Liverpool Lime Street and even closer to Liverpool South Parkway which is the link to Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
The pub has an excellent aspect and has recently benefited from significant investment both internally and externally.
The pub comprises one trading area with a central servery and has recently been fully refurbished to a high standard throughout including significant improvements to the commercial kitchen.
It is a detached building with a car park to the side and a large garden incorporating a children’s play area and a fantastic detached bar with full cellar/storage facilities and brand-new dispense equipment to ensure keg products are available to be poured externally when required. There is also a covered, heated, decked external drinking/dining area with a large screen TV ideal for sports viewing incorporated within the footprint of the licensed area.
The pub backs onto the very popular Victoria Park which has numerous facilities including formal gardens, a lake, a fountain, a skate park, a bandstand, tennis courts, a children’s play area, and a butterfly house. Also close by are Widnes Golf Club and Widnes Rugby Union Club.
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms and a living room an office and a bathroom.

Trading style
The site trades very well following significant investment and has been firmly put on the map for events, dining, live music, sports viewing, and weekend socialising after repositioning by the current Tenant Partner. The food offer has been developed from scratch and is very popular throughout the year but especially in the warmer months with customers benefitting from dining in the superb outside space.
The use of the outside space, garden, children’s area, outside bar with paved drinking area, and covered decking cannot be overstated. This area has been developed massively both by the Tenant Partner and the landlords to develop, what is now, the most important trading space within the operation. The premium world beers available on dispense externally coupled with the wine list, cocktail menu, and sharing food offer has firmly established the pub as a ‘go to’ weekend destination for groups from outside the area as access is easy with the close proximity of Widnes railway station. Summer afternoons/evenings can be so busy that bookings need to be taken to secure a table in the lively garden.
