Black Bull Hotel
The Black Bull is a traditional wet community sports pub located in the heart of Standish village, one of Wigan's most affluent and desirable suburbs. Positioned prominently on Market Street, the pub benefits from strong local support, excellent visibility and a loyal customer base, making it a true hub of village life.
Currently trading at approximately £8,000 per week with 100% wet sales, the pub offers an excellent opportunity for an operator who can maximise its sports and entertainment credentials while further embedding the business within the local community.
The Black Bull attracts a broad mix of local drinkers, sports fans and regular visitors, with trade driven by live sport, weekend entertainment, pub games and social occasions. Its substantial outdoor trading space provides further opportunities for events, live music and seasonal activity.
We're looking for a community-minded operator who can build strong links with local sports teams, groups and organisations, creating a vibrant programme of events that keeps customers returning throughout the week. From live sport and team sponsorships to charity fundraisers, entertainment nights and community celebrations, there is significant scope to strengthen the pub's position as a thriving local venue.
With its strong wet-sales base, established reputation and position at the heart of the village, The Black Bull presents a fantastic opportunity to develop a successful community sports pub and become an integral part of local life.
