A unique opportunity has arisen in Longridge to takeover the extremely popular Applejacks micropub, formerly a greengrocers.

For 21 years the business was run as a fruit and veg shop by current owners, husband and wife team Tom and Gillian Jackson, before they transformed it into a trendy, craft ale bar five years ago, re-opening in February 2019.

Serving a fantastic range of cask ales, lagers, gins, ciders and much more including coffee and cake, Applejacks is one of the most popular drinking spots in the local area, set across two floors with a ground floor area hosting the main bar, as well as plenty of seating and quirky features throughout.

Go upstairs and you will find ‘Apples & Pears’, a wine bar and function room which was renovated from a flat during the Covid-19 pandemic, and is now regularly used for a wide range of events and meetings, with its own private bar available.

Named winners of the CAMRA Central Lancashire branch’s Pub of the Season award last Autumn, Applejacks is now available to lease through local estate agents Pendle Hill Properties.

With their office located directly opposite Applejacks on Berry Lane, Pendle Hill Properties provide a specialist residential and commercial property sales and rental service across the Ribble Valley, Longridge, Preston, Lancashire, Burnley and Pendle.

The estate agents, who moved into their Longridge office in September 2023 but have been selling and letting properties in the area for years, have now been entrusted to find new tenants for Longridge’s go-to bar.

The lease will include all fixtures and fittings and is key-ready for tenants to move in straight away, featuring wooden panelling and furniture throughout, a door directly onto the main high street and large front windows, plus much more.

Applejacks owner Tom Jackson, said: “This is a very profitable business for someone to come in and takeover, nothing needs changing, it works very well and there is a great and loyal customer base.

“I have been here for 26 years overall and it is surprising how many new friends I have made, even though I am from Longridge and they are from Longridge, it is amazing how many new people you will meet.”

Thomas Turner, sales director at Pendle Hill Properties, said: “Applejacks is one of the most popular bars in Longridge and it is a real honour that Tom and Gill have entrusted us to find new tenants for the business.

“With our office being located directly opposite we have got to see first hand how popular and busy Applejacks is throughout the week and at the weekend. This will be a great business for someone.”

Tom and Gillian are now looking forward to their retirement, with Tom only having six full weeks off work in his life. Despite that, a work-mad Tom will still find time to work in a voluntary basis for the NHS.

To enquire about this exciting opportunity in Longridge, contact Pendle Hill Properties on 01772 319421 or pop into their office at 74 Berry Lane, Longridge.
