Public transport access is good. Several bus services operate near Windlass Lane and the property is positioned in centrally in a large housing estate and close to a small neighbourhood retail parade making it well placed to benefit from steady local footfall.

Adjacent to the main bar is a large, self‑contained function room, complete with its own bar, suitable for events and private hire.
