Could you run this pub?
Are you looking to run a recently invested, much‑loved community pub in the heart of Springhead on the edge of Oldham? If so, look no further than the Peels Arms.
Pub & Location
The Peels Arms underwent a transformational investment in November 2024, re-establishing the pub at the heart of its community. The upgrade created a welcoming and versatile space, with a strong wet and dry offering that has broadened its appeal. Live sports, entertainment and a solid food menu now attract both loyal locals and customers travelling from further afield.
The pub is located in Springhead, a residential and semi-urban area on the eastern edge of Oldham, Greater Manchester. Surrounded by housing and sitting close to the vibrant area of Lees, The Peels Arms benefits from being both a relaxed local venue and a popular stop-off en route to a busier destination.
Inside, the pub offers an open-plan layout with clearly defined areas for drinking and informal dining, making it ideal for running a good food offer alongside a strong drinks trade. With good outdoor space and access to scenic walking routes, it’s perfectly positioned to attract local walkers and anyone looking to enjoy a drink in the sunshine.
Ideal Publican
The ideal operator will be experienced, community-focused, and confident in delivering both a strong drinks range and a food offer featuring pub classics and light bites. You’ll understand the value of events such as quiz nights and live entertainment to drive footfall and build on the great reputation the Peels Arms has already established.
A creative approach to marketing and a passion for engaging the local community will be key to growing trade and encouraging repeat visits, while always seeking new and intuitive ways to maximise the pub’s potential.
Private Accommodation
Recently invested in and maintained to a good standard, the living accommodation offers a separate entrance from the pub and includes three good-sized bedrooms, a private kitchen, and a bathroom. This is ideal for comfortable on-site living.
