Beehive, Great Waltham

Property Description

The Beehive is a beautiful detached pub, situated on the main road running through the village of Great Waltham.  Opposite a church and next to the local village post office shop, the pub is surrounded by the village amenities including a coffee shop and a pizza place. Great Waltham itself, known as 'Church End', is rich with history, and nestled within other like minded villages with direct links to Chelmsford, the main town within Essex. We are looking for an experienced licensee to engage with the local community and provide a consistent offering to the village and surrounding areas. Pub Layout The pub consists of two cosy bars - one used as a restaurant area and the other for drinking, with a pool table and toilets at both sides of the bar. The bars are well decorated and both include an open fire for that alluring country pub feel. There is a large and inviting garden to the rear which is well maintained and used for functions in the summer. There is also limited drinking space to the front of the property, with a number of benches for people to use, and roughly 10 parking spaces at the front of the property too. Lastly, there is a commercial kitchen perfect for preparing traditional comforting pub food.

Trading Style

The pub has previously traded with a good wet/food split, and has done well with quiz nights etc. Themed food nights have also proven to be popular amongst the locals, as well as showing sports for those who are after a more casual experience. The pub is now trading with a traditional pub food menu and is focusing on engaging the local community and becoming the hub of that community.
