Pub Overview
Situated in the heart of the charming north Bedfordshire village of Clapham, the Fox and Hounds currently operates as a two-bar community pub with a charming garden and children’s play area.
With a prominent position just off the A6 bypass to Rushden and a short drive from central Bedford, the Fox and Hounds is ideally placed to maximise sales potential.
Suitable Applicants
Experienced operators from other managed or tenanted backgrounds with a commitment to great hospitality would suit the Fox and Hounds nicely. As an established, popular yet manageable venue, a focus on traditional pub catering and the motivation to drive a mid-week sales plan would broaden the pub’s appeal beyond its established clientele.
