Regional Manager's Thoughts During the day, the trade is steady with an older local customer base, and during the evenings and at the weekends, the pub also attracts a younger clientele. The Mowers Arms presents a really good business opportunity for an experienced publican with a strong local knowledge who can make the pub the hub of the community and can grow the trade following the refurbishment. Surrounding Area The Mowers Arms is prominently positioned on the main road through Moston, a well-established residential district located approximately three miles north-east of Manchester city centre. The surrounding area is made up of a mix of social and private housing estates, providing a strong and consistent local customer base within easy walking distance of the pub. Just over a mile away is Broadhurst Park, a key community destination hosting football fixtures, events, and seasonal attractions such as summer funfairs. These activities help generate additional footfall throughout the year and create opportunities for pre- and post-event trade. The area benefits from excellent transport links, making the pub easily accessible for both locals and visitors. Road connections to the M60 provide convenient access to the wider Greater Manchester area, while regular bus services operate along the main road outside the pub. Public transport is also well served, with Moston railway station nearby and Newton Heath and Moston Metrolink station just one and a half miles away. This station forms part of the Manchester Metrolink network, offering direct connections across the city and supporting a wider catchment of customers.
