Pub Layout:
There are two main doors to the front of the pub, one at either end. They both open up into the main trading space of the pub which is dominated by a large, L-shaped, bar servery. With beautiful high ceilings and lots of traditional features, the pub has a lot of charm and personality and this has been taken into account with the simple and traditional décor. In front of and to the right of the bar you will find predominantly low level seating and a cosy fireplace, popular in the winter months. This area leads around to the rear of the property with access to the toilets and a sun trap courtyard garden space with plenty of tables and chairs for customers to enjoy al fresco drinking and dining. Around to the left of the bar, there is also another trade space which can be utilised as further general seating or can be sectioned off to create a versatile function/private dining area with its own, personal external courtyard to the rear.
Trading Style:
The Six Bells has a very good daytime trade, welcoming a mixture of locals & regulars for food and drinks. With food being served from midday daily, the pub is a popular spot for residents, shoppers and workers to pop in for a pint and a bite of traditional pub grub food that is cooked well and at a reasonable price. There is also an element of natural passing foot trade at the site, due to its location near to the canal. The evenings at the Six Bells involve quiz nights, pub games and various options of live music at the weekends. The current tenants at the Six Bells are very community-focused which is clearly welcomed by the locals and they are the hosts of many a charity event as well as being the local go-to venue for functions and parties.

The private accommodation is spread over 2 floors. The first floor contains a large kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom; and the second floor boasts another 3 bedrooms and also an additional bathroom.

BDM Vision:
The Six Bells is already a great pub and any interested applicants will need to fit seamlessly into the community and the ‘family’ that has been created here. They will need to continue to build upon the great reputation that the pub already has, as the popular community hub, and also be able to promote and increase the quality offer that is currently available on both drinks and food. A keen eye for detail, high service levels and a good social media marketing strategy would all help to push this pub to the next level.
