The Wellington is a well‑known, wet‑led pub at the centre of village life in Hale, just outside Liverpool and close to Runcorn and Widnes. With a strong reputation and a loyal core of regulars, it’s a classic community pub with the space and potential to grow.
The Wellington is a generously sized pub spread across multiple areas and two floors. The entrance leads into the main bar, with a mix of seating, several large screens for live sport, a pool table, and an open fire. The L‑shaped bar connects through to further seating and direct access to the beer garden. Upstairs, you will find the function room, which is a large characterful space with its own bar, ideal for private hire.
Live sport and entertainment drive the offer, supported by a solid company food menu and a large function room that’s ideal for celebrations and local events. With weekly turnover of £9.5k on an 80/20 split towards wet, the business is already performing well, with clear opportunity to build further.
We’re looking for a partner with real community focus—someone who can connect with the locals, deliver a varied rhythm of the week, and make the most of weekend entertainment. There’s also scope to attract new customers from surrounding areas by driving consistency, boosting social media presence and promoting the function room more effectively.
For the right person, The Wellington offers the chance to take a respected village pub and make it thrive.
