Property Description
Transformational refurbishment planned
An extensive refurbishment at this beautiful pub in the tranquil village of Bugbrooke. This will include a complete redecoration and refurbishment to the indoor and outdoor trading spaces. We will be upgrading the dining are, with new flooring and decorations. We will also be enhancing the bar servery and back bar and a complete refurbishment of the toilets.
Externally, we will be rejuvenating the garden space, forming a new attractive seating area. 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. All we’re looking for is the right operator...
If you’ve benefited from running or owning a pub business, we’d love to hear what experience you can bring.
The right operator for the Five Bells Bugbrooke will have extensive experience similar hospitality businesses. They will have a clear vision for their food & drinks menu and marketing strategy, and can create a memorable experience for their customers.
If this sounds like the incredible pub opportunity you’ve been waiting for, apply today and tell us what you can bring to this pubs next chapter…
