Pub Overview
Major refurbishment planned
A significant refurbishment will transform The Six Bells into a food-led, premium, country pub. There will be new lighting with dimmer switches to create ambiance. We will also redecorate the existing bar, overhaul under counters, strip and restain the existing bar top. The existing flooring will be upgraded with new vinyl flooring and carpet. The toilets will be refurbished and there will be minor works to kitchen & cellar. This will feel like a completely new pub.
There will also be works completed in the garden & courtyard space, with new F&F to be supplied by the new licensee. The pub frontage will benefit from a redecoration. We will be maintaining the flint stone finish but adding new signage and lighting to make the site more visible and highlight the pubs offering.
Location
The Six Bells is in the seaside town of Littlehampton in West Sussex. Littlehampton is a town, seaside resort, pleasure harbour, and the most populous civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England. It is an affluent area with 57% medium affluence and 18% high affluence. Within a 10-minute walk time, there is one other pub. This pub acts as a wet-only pub, so the Six Bells has the opportunity to drive food trade for the local customer base.
Untapped potential
The Six Bells has the potential to be the best pub in the town. An all-new look and feel, as well as quality food and drinks offer, will stand this pub above the limited competition in the nearby area. The Six Bells is primed to be a ‘great pub with great food’, which is made possible by its 40 internal covers, function room and kitchen facilities. All we’re looking for is the right person to take on the pub...
Target customers:
The newly refurbished pub will appeal to a broad range of customers, including:
1. Bungalow Haven - peace-seeking seniors appreciating the calm of bungalow estates
2. Back with the folks - families with older children
3. Contemporary starts - young families and singles setting up home in modern developments
Offer:
When refurbished, The Six Bells will offer:
1. Premium drinks range, from Amstel to craft beer brands such as Beavertown
2. Wines, premium spirits, and soft drinks.
3. A high-quality, traditional pub food offer to attract locals and those further afield
4. Premium, barista style coffee
5. Summer events as well as events in the function room
The right operator for this site will have extensive experience in a similar hospitality business. They will have a clear vision for their food & drinks menu, entertainment offer and marketing strategy and can create a memorable experience for their customers.
