Run a Stonegate Pub - Pig & Whistle Heywood, Greater Manchester

About the Pub

The Pig & Whistle occupies a large plot on the outskirts of Heywood, with plenty of parking space. It is surrounded by many houses and is on the edge of a large industrial estate. A servery is located to the rear of the building and caters for the games room and seating area. The games room has a pool table and dart board complete with a TV making this the ideal area for sports enthusiasts. The entire pub has capacity for 100 people seated. Although this is considered mainly a wet led business, there is a trade kitchen in place to introduce a food offer, ideal for additional revenue. Live artists have proven popular and is something the new publican can maintain. The Pig & Whistle benefits from two external drinking areas to the front and rear of the pub, providing seating for up to 20 people. This pub is a Beacon site and benefits from good discounts, marketing and other support packages and free training which make this an ideal pub for a newcomer to the trade or someone who wants to move from management into running their own pub business.
