Property details
The Ark Inn is located just out of the town centre of Winsford, a town in Cheshire located just north of Crewe and equidistant between the two northern cities of Liverpool and Manchester. There are four main landmarks nearby, which include Winsford Town FC, Winsford Marina, Weaver Park and Gardens, and Vale Royal College - all are within a ten-minute walk from the pub which is popular with locals and students.
The pub has a strong location and is mock Tudor in design sitting within 2-5 minutes’ walk of four other licensed premises and next door to a licensed bookmaker.
There are three clearly defined trading areas (bar area, lounge area, pool room) all serviced by a central bar, TVs are well situated in each room to ensure great sports viewing for customers.
Externally there is a well-maintained patio/garden to the rear and a small car park, with further bench tables near the front access.

Trading style
The Ark Inn is very much a chameleon site and means a lot to the varied customers who use it throughout the week. Regulars and locals are more prevalent throughout the week, meeting in groups and as individuals all bound by the community of the pub and its position next to the bookmakers with sports viewing facilities.
As the pub enters the weekend the tempo increases and is more entertainment-driven with local DJs proving popular on a Friday and a Saturday night. Nightly events such as quiz night, games night, free pool/jukebox night, and sports viewing keep the midweek trade ticking over but there are also opportunities to grow this already established trade.
The landlords are looking for an experienced publican who is used to maximising the potential of a great community pub that transitions into a lively bar at peak trading. The current offer has room for improvement with mid-week activity, exceptional retail standards, and well-managed peak trading. A sound grasp of marketing and social media will be critical to drive the pub's success further.
The successful applicant will ideally be experienced in developing a community/high street operation but equally important is an individual/team with the drive and enthusiasm to enhance an already established business.
