Property details
The Blue Bell is located in Amble, a charming small town nestled along the main Northumberland coastal road, which stretches from Newcastle to Scotland, winding its way through some of the most picturesque and rugged coastlines in England. This scenic route offers spectacular views and is part of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it a popular destination for travellers, especially in the high season. Amble is easily accessible by car via the A1 and is well-served by bus services from nearby towns like Alnwick, Newcastle, and Morpeth, ensuring it’s a convenient stop for those exploring the Northumberland coast. Rich in history, Amble retains a strong working-class character, a legacy of its maritime roots. The town’s marina is a central hub, attracting boat owners and water enthusiasts. Several local boatyards cater to the needs of these customers, further cementing Amble’s connection to its maritime heritage. The presence of major caravan parks has added a vibrant, bustling atmosphere to Amble’s high street, which is lined with an exciting mix of restaurants, pubs, bars, cafes, and independent shops ensuring the town centre draws both locals and visitors.
The pub offers a warm and welcoming environment across two main trading rooms. The main bar is thoughtfully designed with a blend of low-level fixed benches and loose tables and chairs, creating a relaxed, flexible space. Large windows overlook the street, allowing natural light, and enhancing the lively atmosphere. High stools line the bar, staying true to the traditional community pub feel, and providing a comfortable spot for locals. Adjacent to the bar is the games room, which doubles as a small function space for private events. This room is equipped with a pool table and a darts board and serves as the home base for the pub’s pool and darts teams. With a mix of wooden and carpeted flooring, along with benches and low-level seating, the space is casual and perfect for both socializing and informal events. An additional, currently unused space presents an exciting opportunity for expansion, whether for extra seating or larger gatherings. For those seeking overnight accommodation, the pub offers three letting rooms—two twin rooms and a family room. These rooms share two bathrooms, offering affordable and practical lodging for contractors or budget-conscious travellers. While the rooms are not en-suite, they are easily serviceable with minimal decoration, providing basic, comfortable accommodation for short stays.
Finally, the pub features a small pavement area with a couple of benches, making it ideal for those looking to appreciate the outdoors.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a bathroom, lounge/diner and a kitchen.

Trading style
The Blue Bell is currently a wet-led outlet, driven by its loyal sports teams and local community support. As a true local pub, it is run by local people, and this connection to the area has fostered a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The pub has earned a great reputation for its excellent staff, who have built strong relationships with customers, making it a staple in the community. The sports teams that regularly frequent the pub are an integral part of its identity, creating a lively and energetic environment for locals and visitors alike. Additionally, the letting accommodation offers a valuable secondary income stream, currently let to contractors. However, the accommodation needs some TLC, presenting an opportunity for a new licensee to bring it back to its full potential. With the right investment and attention, the accommodation could be revitalized and expanded to offer a wider range of guests, such as tourists or short-term visitors, further boosting the pub’s revenue and appeal.
The landlords are seeking an individual or couple, ideally local, to take on The Blue Bell in Amble, a unique opportunity to develop a well-established pub. A local presence is key to quickly earning the trust and support of the pub’s loyal regulars, ensuring a smooth transition, and fostering a connection with the community. This strong community tie is essential for sustaining the pub’s reputation and encouraging repeat business, as well as building new customer relationships. Located slightly on the edge of Amble, the pub offers the potential for a fresh vision and a unique identity. While its location may require extra effort to draw both locals and visitors, it provides an opportunity to carve out a distinct appeal. There’s significant potential to expand the pub’s offering beyond the established wet trade by introducing a small back bar food offering and B&B accommodation, creating a vibrant and diverse destination for customers. In addition to enhancing the pub’s physical offering, there’s also room to elevate its online presence. Embracing modern marketing channels will allow the pub to engage with a wider, younger audience, reaching customers who might be searching for new places to visit online. A well-maintained website can provide essential information, promote events, and attract customers from both near and far, helping to increase footfall and drive repeat business. This is a rare opportunity to take the reins of a beloved community pub with the potential for growth and success.
