Pub Layout
The overall space within the pub is large but naturally divided up by the fireplaces, providing both space for larger gatherings and romantic dining experiences. The Cellar and kitchen are both located on the ground floor ensuring looking after your customers is that little bit easier. The kitchen boasts all the necessary equipment to provide a quality menu perhaps including some of the fine local produce. The Outside space consists of a smaller garden to the front of the pub where customers can enjoy a drink surrounded by the English Roses. To the rear there is a small decked area that leads onto a significant car park and meadow. The meadow has huge potential for beer/food festivals or even weddings.
The private accommodation consists of four double bedrooms, a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom with freestanding shower and a separate second toilet.

The Six Bells is a village pub with strong potential to attract diners from further afield as a destination food pub. The ingoing licensee will maintain the high standards of food and service set by the previous licensee. This opportunity would suit a publican or couple who are welcoming and friendly to integrate into the village and carry on the success of previous partners. The outdoor space and meadow should be utilised in warmer months to extend the offering of the pub further, holding events and festivals, as well as expanding food capacity.
