An extensive refurbishment will transform The Blue Bell Dalston into a quality pub for customers to enjoy. This is an excellent business opportunity in a great location, perfect for engaging with the local community.
The area
Located in the charming market village of Dalston, the Blue Bell sits on a picturesque, cobbled square, making it a standout spot near Carlisle. With a complete refurbishment planned for both the bar and lounge areas, the pub will offer a warm, traditional environment suited for daytime dining and a lively local bar scene in the evening. With 81 indoor and 86 outdoor covers, and an inviting rear garden, the Blue Bell is primed to attract both local villagers and passing trade.
This traditional-style pub, with a selection of beers, real ales, quality wines, and premium pub food, is set to become a true village hub. It will appeal to older daytime diners and a broader audience in the evenings with entertainment options like pub games, quizzes, and live sports. An experienced, community[1]oriented licensee with a passion for food would be ideal to bring this vision to life and create a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for Dalston residents and visitors alike.
The Blue Bell Dalston is available on our Investment agreement. Click here for more information on this agreement.
