Your Go-To Venue for Sport, Entertainment and Unbeatable Value
Run a freshly refurbished community pub in the heart of Lees, offering great sport, a welcoming atmosphere and strong local trade potential.
If you’re looking for the opportunity to take on a recently refurbished community pub with an established customer base, The Angel in Lees could be the ideal fit.
Recently invested in internally, the pub has undergone a full renovation of its main customer areas and toilets, giving it a clean, modern feel while retaining the warmth and familiarity locals expect. With an upgraded rear courtyard beer garden and a layout designed for both relaxed socialising and lively sporting occasions, The Angel is perfectly positioned for an operator who wants to make an immediate impact.
Pub
The Angel has been refurbished throughout, providing a clean, practical space that works well for everyday trade. A central bar serves both sides of the pub, naturally separating the venue into two defined areas: a dedicated sports and pool space ideal for matches, teams and live sports nights, and a main bar area offering a comfortable mix of high and low seating. This balance makes the pub suitable for all occasions, from weekend gatherings to quieter mid‑week drinks. At the rear, the beer garden has been upgraded into an enclosed courtyard-style space accessed directly from the pub, providing an appealing outdoor area that can be used all year round.
Location
Situated in the popular village of Lees, The Angel benefits from a strong local community and steady footfall from the nearby high street. Lees sits on the outskirts of Oldham and offers excellent connections to surrounding villages including Uppermill, Springhead, Scouthead, Moorside and Greenfield.
The pub occupies a convenient position just off the main road, making it easy to reach for residents, shoppers, walkers and those travelling between Oldham and the Saddleworth villages.
Ideal Operator
This pub will suit an experienced operator who understands how to balance great hospitality with a friendly atmosphere. You’ll be confident offering a simple but appealing food menu, including a popular Sunday lunch and a selection of light bites that pair well with entertainment and live sport. If you enjoy creating a friendly, welcoming environment, feel comfortable running a venue where sport plays an important role and can deliver quality alongside great service, The Angel provides a fantastic platform to build from.
Accommodation
The pub includes two private bedrooms, a kitchen and a lounge.
