Improvements will be made to the car park and the pub will receive a face-lift with brand new signage. This will be a truly great pub, with great food. Affluent area The pub itself is located in Bugbrooke. Bugbrooke is a beautiful village and civil parish in Northamptonshire, England, on a ridge overlooking the valley of the River Nene. The Five Bells is situated directly opposite the church. The pub benefits from affluent demographics and is only 7 miles Southwest from Northampton. This makes it a great choice for locals or those travelling from further afield. A pub with huge potential In the immediate area, there are only three competitor pubs. An excellent range of premium food and drinks, a complete refurbishment and a stunning setting will separate the site from anything else in the area and beyond. The Five Bells will give people a reason to stay local. The outside space will also be a key trade driver. It will boast some 24 dedicated covers in its newly redecorated lounge area but is capable of many more in the other trading areas throughout the pub.
