Business Summary

Falcon Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this attractive village inn located in the center of the village next to the church and the green. It enjoys an excellent reputation for its welcoming atmosphere and home cooked pub food. The business has been under the careful ownership of our clients since 2006 and is run with the help of part time staff. It benefits from a good local trade and has 8 Skittles teams (rising to 11 in the summer months) as well as Pool, Darts and a cricket team. It enjoys an annual turnover in the region of £170,000 per year with a split of 60% wet sales and 40% food sales. The Six Bells trades traditional Pub hours and is open 6.30pm - 11.00pm on Mondays, 12.00 - 3.00pm and 7.00-11.00pm Tuesday to Thursday, 12.00 - 11.30pm Fridays and Saturdays and 12.00-10.30pm Sundays. Food is not served on a Sunday or Monday night

The Six Bells dates back to the 17th century and contains a wealth of character features including beamed Ceilings and open fireplaces. The premises were extended in 2004 to provide a spacious function room which has its own bar, skittle alley and commercial catering kitchen. We feel that this is an ideal opportunity to acquire a popular public house and restaurant in a desirable location. Early discussions with Falcon Commercial are highly recommended.
