About the pub

The Flying Squirrel was refurbished in April 2025 with a £300k investment, transforming it into our new 2-door pub concept, offering family-friendly dining and a community wet-led pub with sports and games. Located near Bradford city centre on a busy retail park, with good links to M62 and M606 motorways.

The pub features a traditional community food menu, Sky Sports, TNT Sports, darts, pool, and an interactive media system for events like Bingo, karaoke, quizzes, music, and TV control.

Current weekly sales are around £16k, with a 50/50 wet-to-food split. There's significant potential to grow sales by enhancing family dining and attracting sports fans during football season. Outside, there are two drinking and dining areas, including a patio and garden, plus a large shared car park with free guest parking.

Management accommodation includes three double bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and lounge.
