Boot Inn, Chipping Sodbury

Property Description

The Boot Inn sits just off the historic high street in the medieval market town of Chipping Sodbury, on the edge of the Cotswolds. This welcoming 19th century inn reflects the town’s traditional character and enjoys a central position within a thriving, close knit community. Surrounded by established residential neighbourhoods, the area is home to a predominantly affluent demographic of owner-occupiers. Transport links are strong, with the Y6 bus providing a direct service into Bristol City Centre, while the drive takes around 25 minutes and is approximately 14 miles away. The town’s charm, accessibility and desirable demographic make it an attractive setting for both locals and visitors alike.

Pub Layout

The Boot Inn is a single-bar operation with an inviting L-shaped trading area, accessible from both the car park and the main road entrance. Inside, the pub offers a welcoming social space with a pool table, darts oche and multiple TVs showing live sport, creating a lively hub for regulars and visitors alike. Behind the bar, a small food preparation area provides service to locals during sporting fixtures and offers a small food offer throughout the week.  Well established within the community and known for its good reputation, the business has been operated consistently over the years but is now available due to the current licensee’s ill health.

Trading Style

The Boot Inn is a wet-led community pub with a mid-market drinks offer and a loyal local following. While the pub does not currently serve cask ale, there is clear potential to introduce this to complement the existing range and broaden its appeal. Food is currently limited, with a small preparation area behind the bar used to serve team food for sports fixtures alongside simple back-bar snacks such as rolls and chips. With some further investment of time and creativity, this could be developed into a more consistent food offer, enhancing the pub’s appeal to both regulars and casual visitors. For the right licensee, The Boot Inn presents a strong foundation with scope to broaden its offer and further grow its reputation.
