Property details
Witchford is a well‑established village located just outside Ely, with a range of local amenities including a primary school, post office, and independent businesses. Ely is a popular and well‑known city, with good access to Cambridge and the A14, supporting wider connectivity beyond the immediate area.
The Village Inn is the only pub in the village; the site holds a strong position within the local area, with clear potential to build a consistent and well‑used offer.
Inside, the pub offers an open-plan bar and trading area, providing a straightforward layout that supports around 30 covers. Whilst food is not the key focus for this pub, there is a catering kitchen and scope to provide a food offer for events if requested.
Outside space is a key feature, with gardens to both the front and rear, which will be further enhanced through planned improvements. The pub also benefits from a car park with space for around 14 vehicles.
The pub includes private on‑site accommodation, comprising two bedrooms, a kitchen and a lounge.

Trading style
The Village Inn is a well‑established pub located in the heart of Witchford, positioned on the main route through the village and within easy reach of Ely.
Subject to full approval, there are plans to enhance the outdoor space to increase year‑round use and create more reasons to visit. This includes extending the front patio to provide additional seating and create space for food trucks, alongside improvements to the garden area with the introduction of covered, heated booths.
This opportunity will suit a hands‑on, community‑minded publican or couple who enjoys being at the centre of village life.
Someone who can provide a well‑run bar will do well here, along with the ability to create regular activity through events and a clear weekly rhythm.
A friendly, visible approach and strong standards will be key to building on the pub’s position within the village.
