A lot of people believe that since wetherspoons opened in leigh it has 'sucked the life' out of leigh for me once the leigh arms was sold by pete and julie it became almost a derelict building overnight. Leigh Arms was the centre of a great night out in leigh which for me is now at best an average night out where alot of people will just sit in wetherspoons for the majority of the night..............is it then worth the risk? Nobodies done anything yet with it but with the support i believe it cud be almost on a par with wot it once was (never quite the same)but still bring a better atmosphere to a night out round town

I suppose it depends on whether its freehold or leasehold

then again - a few years ago you'd have a busy pub on a fr, sat, and sun... now it's only really a sat night

leigh arms went down hill when darren took over at bliss, plus the smoking ban, recession

i wouldnt consider taking over a boozer, espeically in leigh

Indeed. It's location was the best, and worst, aspects of it. Always meant to go in but I got the impression that they hadn't decided whether they wanted to be a restaurant or just another latenight takeaway.

225/235k if memory serves me right, thats everything no ties ave seen spec on it also boundary up aswell think thats 260k but a lot more land and bigger premises.

Not a bad investment if it could be made into a car park......

Dont know whether that was the reason but we had 16 deposits for a 50th birthday party disappear!!
