Could you run this pub in Stockport?

The Victoria is a well-established community pub located at the heart of Offerton in Stockport.

It’s well-loved by locals for its quality drinks, including cask marque-accredited ales and live entertainment.

The pub and location

The building is steeped in history dating from 1840. It became Wilsons Brewery House following a merger with Walker and Homfray’s Brewery in 1949, making it a fascinating part of our brewing heritage.

It’s just a stone through from city life in Manchester which offers plenty of culture, great shops, a thriving nightlife, and famous theatre and arts venues. The Victoria pub sits close to Stockport’s town centre, making it popular with visitors and locals.
