Blue Bell Dalston
The Blue Bell is a fantastic traditional village pub in Dalston, Cumbria. Dalston is a picturesque large village approximately for miles south of Carlisle and five miles from Junction 42 of the M6 motorway. It is a sought after place to live, serviced by Dalston railway station and a key service centre for a much wider rural area. The Blue Bell has a central location facing onto the village square next to St Michaels Church and a host of independent shops.
Currently the Blue Bell enjoys strong established trade from the local community, as well as having destination appeal. The pub has a good quality homemade traditional pub menu, accompanied by a tempting drink range including a good wine, spirit and cask ale selection. Future potential to boost existing trade lies in driving the wet trade through further building on the community aspect, including additional development of the events calendar.
BDM Vision:
The Blue Bell has a strong village community following and enjoys established local and destination trade through its existing offer, but there is still opportunity to build further on the wet trade by creating even stronger bonds with the local community.
Experienced Community Operator Wanted
We are looking for an operator with good community experience and a strong background in food. You will have the ability to maintain the existing high quality offer, whilst driving the wet trade with the local community.
