A Well‑Invested Community Pub with Strong Local Appeal
Take on a refurbished Mossley local with space, character and room to grow
The Pub
The New Bridge is a community pub located close to the centre of Mossley, benefitting from its own car park and enclosed beer garden.
The pub underwent a significant investment in September 2025, creating clearly defined areas for sports, pool and darts teams, alongside comfortable seating spaces featuring a real log fire. The result is a pub that is well laid‑out, welcoming and ready to trade.
Internally, there is an open‑plan main bar with new bar and back‑bar merchandising. The split layout allows the pub to cater for relaxed everyday visits as well as more lively sports and social occasions.
Food currently plays a supporting role, with space for around 20 covers, giving an opportunity to grow a simple food offer to complement the trade here.
Location
Situated on Micklehurst Road, the New Bridge sits within a well‑established residential area of Mossley, making it a natural local for nearby communities.
The pub is well positioned within reach of Ashton‑under‑Lyne, Oldham and Uppermill, making it easily accessible for a wider customer base, while remaining firmly rooted as a community local.
Ideal Publican
This opportunity will suit an experienced, drink‑focused operator who enjoys running a community pub with sport, teams and strong local engagement with consistent events at its heart.
Confidence in building and maintaining teams, creating a welcoming environment and delivering consistent standards will be key. There is also scope for an operator to introduce or develop a simple food offer to support existing trade and broaden appeal so some experience with food is preferred.
Accommodation
The pub includes private on‑site accommodation, comprising three bedrooms, a private kitchen and a private lounge, offering comfortable living space for an operator or family.
