The Vaults

The Vaults occupies a prominent High Street position in Middlewich, a thriving market town in the heart of Cheshire. The town sits just 20 miles east of Chester and 5 miles north-west of Sandbach, with the M6 Motorway only 2 miles away, placing the site within easy reach of Liverpool and Manchester, both approximately 20 miles distant to the north-west and north-east respectively.

Middlewich is a town of real character and heritage: two historic canals, the Shropshire Union and the Trent & Mersey, run through the town and are connected by the Wardle Canal, the shortest canal in the UK. This canal network brings a steady flow of visitors and tourists throughout the warmer months, providing an additional customer base beyond the town’s resident population.

The pub benefits from an excellent trading position, situated between the main arterial route of St Michael’s Way and Wheelock Street at the heart of the town centre, ensuring strong passing footfall throughout the day.

Internally, the pub trades as a single-bar operation and is well equipped for entertainment-led trade, featuring a dedicated pool area, darts oche, a purpose-built raised DJ booth, and multiple large-screen TVs showing live sport via Sky, TNT Sports, and Prime Video.

To the front of the property, there is an external drinking area with capacity for approximately 40 covers, which performs strongly during the summer months. Investment is planned to further develop and enhance this outdoor space, presenting an opportunity for an incoming operator to benefit from an improved external offer.

On-site car parking is available for approximately 8 vehicles at the front of the property. Additional public parking is available nearby in the town centre.

The private accommodation is located above the pub and comprises three bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and separate WC, providing a comfortable and self-contained living space for the operator.
