Pubs To Lease In Preston – Run The Plungington Now !
Wow what an opportunity! The Plungington, known affectionately as the Plungy, is an extremely popular community pub located on the corner of the busy Lytham Road roundabout in the Fulwood area of Preston. Fulwood is an affluent area just North of Preston City Centre. The area has in recent years become a magnet for homeowners and local independent businesses due to the quality of the homes and the improving demographic.
Pub Layout
The Plungington is an imposing detached building set on a corner plot benefitting from an impressive sized beer garden. The former bowling green is now used for seating space which can easily seat 150 thirsty customers and is packed out on sunny days with families flocking to sit out and socialise. There is also a patio area overlooking the beer garden with an additional 29 picnic tables as well as a wooden hut with fixed additional seating for all year-round use.
You are welcomed into the pub through the front of the building which faces on to the busy Lytham Road. There are steps up to the entrance hallway with a door to the left leading to the private accommodation. The main island bar has a modern décor whilst in keeping with the age and tradition of the building, showing off the open fire and high coved ceilings. There is a mixture of fixed and loose seating with high tables with bar stools. The bar itself is located within the heart of the pub servicing both the dining and bar areas. To the left there is a doorway taking you through the rear hallway which provides access to the toilets, beer garden and the dining lounge. Although food is served throughout the pub the dining lounge provides a more formal feel with its solid wooden flooring and dining tables. There is a tucked away seating area located next to the bar with fixed and loose seating along with bar tables.

The Plungington has previously had a well-established food offering providing a traditional but quality food offer as well as some specials and themed nights during the week. The menu was popular with families and for those wanting a treat after a busy day working. For those customers who need their thirst quenching, the pub offered a fantastic drinks offer serving a variety of continental lagers, cask ales and fruity cider. These are complimented by a large wine list and an interesting and extensive spirits offer including enticing gins, exotic rums and party shots. The pub is much loved by the community and utilises its size and space to host events such as carol services in the winter and Gin and Beer festivals in the summer.
Private Accommodation
The private accommodation is located on the first floor and is accessed through the entrance hall of the pub. On the first floor you will find: kitchen, lounge, bathroom, three double bedrooms and an office/single bedroom. There is a second floor which is accessed via the landing of the private accommodation but this is currently not in use.

This truly is a fantastic opportunity especially with the much loved beer garden. These opportunities don’t come along very often and with the right operator and the right vision the sky’s the limit. To make the most of the opportunity this pub provides, I am looking for an experienced operator who knows the area well and has the desire and aspiration to grow the business significantly over the long term. There is potential to invest in the business down the line with a focus on an external redecoration, new signage and lighting and potentially a spend on internal redecoration which any new licensee would have a say in. This is going to be a very busy and hectic operation so an operator used to dealing with a team of staff and the confidence to run a busy food pub with an extensive beer garden is a must.
