About the Pub

The Bell Inn is a traditional destination village pub, located in a prime roadside location on the main A38 just outside Cheltenham, in the sought-after village of Shurdington. Internally the pub comprises two main areas, a traditional bar area to the front, which is decorated in a modern fashion and features traditional flagstone flooring and a wooden panelled bar servery, hosting well-kept cask ales and a host of international beer brands. The restaurant is a separate area to the rear of the bar and has a gorgeous view, looking out over the village cricket green. It has a very light and airy feel, creating a pleasant atmosphere in which to dine. This space can accommodate approximately 30 covers and is serviced by a good sized and well-equipped trade kitchen. Externally there is a large, lawned, and family friendly, beer garden is situated to the rear of the premises, with a gravelled area which incorporates traditional pub benches, and provides access onto the village cricket field. There is also a wooden outside bar, used during the summer months to serve spectators on the cricket field, and regular celebrations and events. The roadside car park has space for approximately 25 vehicles, with good access to the main A38 road. The private accommodation is of a good size and includes three bedrooms, a lounge and kitchen.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

The Bell Inn is a well-known Cheltenham pub with a good reputation and is one that does not often come to the market. This is a not to be missed opportunity that would suit experienced publicans who are passionate about their food and are looking for a village pub feel but with the added bonus of a prominent main road location. I look forward to working in partnership with the new publican to take the Bell to the next level.
