Trading style
The Six Bells is a pretty ‘chocolate box’ thatched village pub - informal food is served at lunchtimes and evenings throughout the pub. There is a warm, friendly atmosphere and customers are welcomed equally for a meal or a quick drink. It is the only pub in the village and has appeared in numerous episodes of Midsomer Murders and therefore benefits from the associated tourist trade.
The pub currently attracts the local drinking trade, including the village cricket team and catering trade from a wider catchment. Ideally, this catchment should be extended to further exploit the food potential here.
The landlords seek experienced tenants who have the ability to ‘fit in’ to a loyally followed locals pub, but who also have the food expertise to operate a quality informal offering to a wider audience.
Applicants must have or be able to apply for a personal licence.
