Run an Admiral Pub, Bell, Bedford

Job Type: Leased & Tenancy, Pub Manager

Sector: Pubs and Bars

Contract Type: Full Time

The pub trades as a quality community local with a good selection of draught and cask ales. Live televised sports plays a big part in this pub with an opportunity to launch a small back bar food offering.

Accommodation: Private Accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a lounge, and a family bathroom, all of which are in good order, with the domestic kitchen currently located downstairs.

Financial:

1. Annual Rent: £21,500
2. Security Deposit: £5,000
3. Working Capital: £2,000
4. Stock: £1,000
5. Business Rates: £Nil. Based on the April 2023 rating list, the Zero Rates Payable is based on small business rates relief being applied for by the licensee and the licensee only occupying one property for commercial purposes.
6. Fixtures and Fittings: To be confirmed upon valuation – funding options may be available for the right licensee.
7. Tie: All drinks categories are tied. For fully funded licensees on long term agreements, we offer free-of-tie options for certain drinks categories in exchange for an annual fee.

BDM Vision: The Bell is a community-focused pub. You will need a good vision and have digital marketing skills to promote this pub online and to the local community. There are many opportunities to drive mid-week trade through sports teams and entertainment.

The launch of a back bar food offering here is a must. Simple aspects like quality cask ale, a bite to eat, sports teams, and a more active social media presence will quickly develop the trade further. There is currently an untapped opportunity with the impressive beer garden, which could easily be home to drinks and music events during the summer along with community and charity events.

Admiral is looking for a licensee with great vision and local knowledge to really unlock this pub’s potential.
