Abbey Hotel

The Abbey Hotel occupies a prominent town centre location in Accrington, a thriving East Lancashire market town with a population of approximately 36,000. Situated just off the main high street, the pub benefits from a strong mix of retail, hospitality and leisure businesses nearby, generating consistent footfall throughout the day and evening. The surrounding area includes around 5,600 households within a half-mile radius, providing a substantial local customer base, while the pub's central position ensures excellent visibility and regular trade from residents, shoppers and visitors alike. Accrington enjoys excellent transport links, with easy access to the M65 motorway, connecting the town to Blackburn, Burnley and the wider Lancashire region. The nearby A56/M66 corridor provides a direct route to Manchester, while regular bus services and direct rail connections to Preston further enhance accessibility. This well-connected location offers an excellent opportunity for a publican to capitalise on both local and passing trade.

Customers enter the Abbey Hotel directly into the main bar area, where they are immediately greeted by an open-plan trading space centred around the large and well-stocked bar. This area is versatile for all occasions, with comfortable seating for everyday trade, standing room for bigger groups, and its open plan style creates a warm and social space. The main trade area has a modern yet traditional pub feel, with fixed seating and loose tables arranged to create a mix of small group and casual drinking areas. Beyond the main bar area, the pub extends into a secondary seating area of roughly 30 covers, made up of low tables and seating, which has historically been used for casual dining or quieter drinking. There is also a small stage, which is used for live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights. A corridor leads customers past the toilets, and outside under a covered walkway through to the function room/café. Inside, you’ll find a separate small bar, along with an open kitchen and enough covers for around 30 customers. Opposite the function room is the beer garden, comprised of open-air and undercover seating, with enough covers for 60 customers. A marquee has been used in the past to cover this area when holding events, including live music, parties, and bigger televised sporting events, creating a real party atmosphere.

The private accommodation is located on the first floor and can be accessed via a door in the main trade area. It consists of two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, a kitchen and an office, all in good condition.
