Trading style
Eight Bells is a community local that has been well-established in the village by the outgoing licensee. The food offering here is vital and pulls in both regulars from the village and customers from further afield. A good mid-week food offering should keep trade stable in off-peak periods. The pub has a good outside space that should be utilised in warmer months and provides great scope to attract families with its outdoor play area. There is potential to incorporate a darts team into the rhythm of the week here within the separate games area. Cask ales are also well received at the Eight Bells.
This pub is in fantastic condition throughout and presents a great turnkey opportunity for the right operator. This site would suit both experienced and first-time operators alike, with passion and high standards as the most important ingredients to make this venue successful. Food is an essential part of this business, so someone who has the desire to drive this is essential. A real personable character, who can build strong community links will thrive at The Eight Bells. Local knowledge will also stand you in good stead. This pub presents a real opportunity for an entrepreneurial spirit who wishes to take it to the next level!
