Pub Overview
Ring O Bells is set for a refurbishment of around £125,000 to transform it into the best pub in the area, with high quality trade areas and a stronger community pub offer. What would you do with this pub to make it a success?
About the area
The Ring O Bells is located in the village of Queensbury, where there are 4,776 adults within a 10-minute walk of the pub. The current customer base is predominantly wet-led, value-led and traditional, with a loyal and mature demographic. Following the refurbishment, the pub will be repositioned to appeal to a broader and more diverse customer base, with the potential to become a go-to spot for younger professionals and after-work socialising.
The pub is one of a handful of pubs in the area, competing with three other community wet-led venues - The George, Queensbury Tavern and New Dolphin. With the planned internal and external investment, Ring O Bells has the opportunity to stand apart from this competition and rebuild its reputation in the local community.

What we're planning & why
Refurbishment details
A refurbishment of around £125,000 is planned at the Ring O Bells, covering both the interior and exterior of the pub. The investment will refresh the pub’s appearance, improve its trading spaces and help reposition it as a stronger community pub with broader appeal.
What's happening?
This is a full internal and external scheme designed to create high quality trade areas and make Ring O Bells the best pub in the area. Key elements of the refurbishment include new external signage, a new gaming and entertainment zone, and an interior décor refresh. Together, these improvements will give the pub a more modern look and feel, improve kerb appeal and strengthen its entertainment offer.
The investment creates a strong opportunity for the next operator to shape the drinks and entertainment offer around the needs of the local community. As the current offer is open to suggestions from the new operator, there is scope to introduce the right mix of events, atmosphere and retailing to attract a wider audience while retaining the pub’s community local character.
Why invest?
This investment is expected to significantly improve the pub’s trading potential, with projected turnover increasing from £2,500 per week to over £5,500 per week, details of which can be discussed at business plan stage. The scheme addresses areas where the pub is currently not maximising its potential, including outdated design, limited entertainment facilities and weak kerb appeal, giving the next operator a stronger platform to grow sales and rebuild the pub’s local reputation.
