The Red Pump Inn is a charming and well-established destination country inn with an excellent reputation throughout the Ribble Valley and beyond. Having successfully operated as a popular steakhouse before evolving into a profitable lifestyle-led country inn, the business enjoys multiple revenue streams including food and drink sales, guest accommodation, weddings, private dining and special events. The venue has built a loyal customer following and benefits from a strong regional profile.

Location

The Red Pump Inn occupies a highly attractive countryside setting on Clitheroe Road, Bashall Eaves, in the heart of Lancashire’s renowned Ribble Valley. Situated at the gateway to the Forest of Bowland and enjoying far-reaching views towards Pendle Hill and the surrounding fells, the property benefits from strong appeal to both local residents and visiting tourists.

The Ribble Valley is widely recognised as one of the north west’s premier leisure and hospitality destinations, attracting significant year-round visitor traffic.

Internal Details

The property retains the character and atmosphere expected of a traditional country inn, featuring attractive period elements including stone-flagged floors, exposed oak beams and open fireplaces.

Internally, the business provides a welcoming bar area, dining spaces capable of accommodating both casual diners and private functions, together with facilities suitable for weddings, celebrations and themed hospitality events. The overall presentation creates a warm and authentic rural hospitality experience.

Fixtures & Fittings

We have been advised that the majority of the fixtures and fittings are owned outright and will be included in the sale, subject to an inventory.

Letting Accommodation

A significant strength of the business is its diverse accommodation offering, comprising eight individually designed boutique guest bedrooms within the main inn, four glamping yurts and two luxury shepherd huts set within the grounds.

The accommodation appeals to leisure visitors, walkers, wedding guests and destination diners, providing an important supplementary income stream and further enhancing the property's destination appeal.

External Details

Externally, The Red Pump Inn benefits from generous grounds and an attractive rural environment that complements its hospitality offering. The site includes the glamping yurts and luxury shepherd huts, customer parking facilities and outdoor areas from which guests can enjoy the surrounding countryside views. The external setting is a key factor in the venue's popularity for short breaks, weddings and special events. Additionally, there is a substantial yurt structure which has been utilised for weddings, hospitality events and private functions. The yurt may be made available as part of a separate negotiation, presenting an additional opportunity for purchasers seeking to further develop the property's events and wedding offering.

Owner's Accommodation

The property also benefits from a well-appointed one-bedroom owner's apartment, finished to the same high standard as the guest accommodation. Providing comfortable and private on-site living accommodation, the apartment is ideally suited to owner-operators and hospitality couples seeking a lifestyle business. The quality of the accommodation complements the overall standard of the business and offers a convenient base from which to oversee the operation.

The Opportunity

The Red Pump Inn presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a highly regarded and profitable hospitality business in one of Lancashire’s most desirable trading locations. The current owners operate a deliberately limited lifestyle trading model, opening only selected days across approximately ten months of the year, yet still achieving strong profit margins.

Significant potential exists to increase revenues through extended trading hours, greater utilisation of the accommodation, expanded food and beverage offerings, increased wedding and event activity, and broader seasonal trading.

The availability of the on-site yurt by separate negotiation offers further scope to enhance the venue's wedding, celebration and corporate events business. The operation would be particularly attractive to experienced owner-operators, hospitality couples, independent operators or small pub groups seeking a proven destination venue with substantial scope for future growth.
