Spinners, Leigh

Pub Layout

On entering through the foyer, you are welcomed by a central bar servicing all areas of the pub with a raised area to the right that houses the darts oche, this space can also accommodate bands and can be cornered off for small functions.  The main seating area is carpeted and is a good size, it is furnished with fixed and loose seating in keeping with the décor and has stools to the bar area. The private quarters can be accessed from behind the bar.

Entrance to the courtyard is accessed from the lobby at the rear of the pub where the ladies and gents’ toilets are also located. There is also a small seating area at the front of the building.  The pub is in immaculate condition, having very recently been refurbished.

The Spinners a wet-led community pub.  It is well supported by the local community, with a strong sports focus, particularly Rugby League thanks to the success of the Leigh Leopards. The pub shows both Sky & TNT and is home to a darts team.

There is a varied product range, and the drinks sales should be driven through regular promotions and offers. Entertainment in the form of live music and quiz nights have also been popular here, and the new licensee should focus on developing a strong rhythm of the week.
