Property Description

Bottisham is an attractive and established village in East Cambridgeshire, situated approximately seven miles east of Cambridge and seven miles west of Newmarket, with convenient access to the A14 trunk road. The village benefits from regular bus services connecting it to both towns, making it well positioned to attract both local residents and passing trade from the wider area. The immediate village is home to around 2,500 residents across approximately 900 households, with a wider catchment of around 6,500 residents and 2,600 households within a ten-minute drive time. A number of smaller surrounding villages further enhance the potential customer base. Bottisham retains the character of a traditional English village, centred around key community assets including the church, village hall, local school and sports facilities, which host events and activities throughout the year. The pub occupies a favourable position within the village conservation area, set slightly back from the main thoroughfare but only a short walk from the village centre and close to both the school and sports grounds. Its location allows it to benefit from regular village footfall while also serving as a natural meeting place for residents and visitors alike.

Pub Layout

The main entrance, set slightly back from the road, leads directly into the main bar area, with the central bar positioned immediately ahead. This space forms the heart of the pub and provides a welcoming focal point for customers upon arrival. To the left of the bar, beyond an impressive original chimney feature, is a separate room accommodating approximately 20 covers. While currently suited to dining, this space could also lend itself to alternative uses such as a games or pool room, should the licensee wish to target that segment of the market. The commercial kitchen is conveniently located behind the bar, allowing efficient service to all trading areas. To the right of the main bar are the customer toilets and an area currently utilised for sports viewing, centred around a large screen television. This section of the pub provides a more casual drinking environment and also provides access to the rear trade garden. Externally, an astro turf-covered garden, creates a more inviting environment for outdoor drinking and dining.

Trading Style

The pub trades as a traditional village local with a well-established food offer that serves both the immediate community and customers from the surrounding area. Food is a key driver of trade, supported by a strong reputation for hospitality and a menu that reflects the varied tastes of the local marketplace. The proximity to Cambridge attracts a broad customer base that is receptive to both traditional pub favourites and more distinctive, themed food concepts. The drinks offer is centred around quality cask ales, complemented by a well-balanced range of wines, premium spirits and soft drinks. Key trading occasions, particularly Sunday lunch, play an important role in overall performance, with signature dishes helping to drive repeat visits and destination dining. Externally, the pub benefits from a substantial rear trading area comprising a sunken patio, raised decking and space for approximately 10–15 picnic benches. This provides significant seasonal capacity and supports outdoor drinking, dining and community-focused events throughout the year.
