Property details
The Boot Inn sits just off the historic high street in the medieval market town of Chipping Sodbury, on the edge of the Cotswolds. This welcoming 19th-century inn reflects the town’s traditional character and enjoys a central position within a thriving, close-knit community. Surrounded by established residential neighbourhoods, the area is home to a predominantly affluent demographic of owner-occupiers. Transport links are strong, with the Y6 bus providing a direct service into Bristol City Centre, while the drive takes around 25 minutes and is approximately 14 miles away. The town’s charm, accessibility, and desirable demographic make it an attractive setting for both locals and visitors alike.
The pub is a single-bar operation with an inviting L-shaped trading area, accessible from both the car park and the main road entrance. Inside, the pub offers a welcoming social space with a pool table, darts oche and multiple TVs showing live sport, creating a lively hub for regulars and visitors alike. Behind the bar, a small food preparation area provides service to locals during sporting fixtures and offers a small food offer throughout the week. Well established within the community and known for its good reputation, the business has been operated consistently over the years, but is now available due to the current licensee’s ill health.
The private accommodation consists of two double bedrooms, one single bedroom, a bathroom, a living space or office, and a domestic kitchen located downstairs.

Trading style
The Boot Inn is a wet-led community pub with a mid-market drinks offer and a loyal local following. While the pub does not currently serve cask ale, there is clear potential to introduce this to complement the existing range and broaden its appeal. Food is currently limited, with a small preparation area behind the bar used to serve team food for sports fixtures alongside simple back-bar snacks such as rolls and chips. With some further investment of time and creativity, this could be developed into a more consistent food offer, enhancing the pub’s appeal to both regulars and casual visitors. For the right licensee, The Boot Inn presents a strong foundation with scope to broaden its offer and further grow its reputation.
This well-established, family-run, wet-led pub has strong foundations and a loyal customer base at its heart. The vision is for a new licensee with local knowledge to take the reins, someone who can cement the pub’s position at the centre of the community whilst building on its existing reputation. There is scope to enhance the food offering and create a strong rhythm of the week to boost footfall during quieter periods. With the current licensee stepping away due to ill health, this represents a genuine opportunity to carry forward a much-loved pub and further develop its role as a thriving social hub for the town.
