Situated on the edge of the popular market town of Yarm, the Blue Bell overlooks a beautiful riverside and has a fantastic outdoor dining and drinking area where customers can relax, dine, drink and watch the world go by. This is a superb opportunity for a motivated and experienced operator to continue the success story created here.
The ideal operator here will have a proven background in running high-performing pubs, with an ability to manage and motivate a large team of staff. Experience in food retailing would be a distinct advantage. The Blue Bell would be perfect for a pub professional who’s highly driven and has a flair for retail hospitality, driving sales and marketing.
The Pub
The Blue Bell is one of Punch’s flagship pubs. Its waterside location means that it’s popular all year round, but trades extremely well in the warmer weather. It’s an open plan trading operation, with some feature booth seating sections and an impressive L-shaped bar servery. The pub is quite large and can cater for up to 100 covers at any one time. Outside, the Blue Bell has a fantastic decked area, which is suitable for dining, drinking or just relaxing with a coffee while looking out over the river. There’s also a smoking solution and a large car park.
The domestic accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a kitchen and a lounge. Punch will ensure that this accommodation is in good order.
Refurbishment
We’re planning refurbishment investment to freshen up the interior decor and make further improvements to the already impressive outside area.
The local area
Situated on the edge of the popular market town of Yarm near Stockton-on-Tees, the Blue Bell occupies a prominent position on the main road. This is a highly desirable area and Yarm is a popular place for people to visit, particularly for shopping and leisure. Situated on the main A67 road between Yarm and Stockton, the pub sees a lot of passing trade and attracts customers from far and wide.
