More about The Bayshill

We are ideally seeking hands-on owner-operators with a genuine passion for hospitality, who will take pride in maintaining and developing the pub's existing offering. A passion for cask ales, including their care and dispense, is particularly desirable.

Strong catering and food service skills would also be an advantage, with the ability to deliver a high-quality and consistent food offering that complements the pub's drinks range and enhances the overall customer experience.

 

The Bayshill occupies a favourable town centre position in Cheltenham, just approximately seven minutes from the renowned Cheltenham Racecourse. With a busy calendar of fixtures, festivals and events throughout the year, the racecourse provides a valuable source of additional trade, with The Bayshill being a popular destination for customers before and after race days.

The pub has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, offering generous space for both diners and drinkers. Well known locally as “a proper pub”.

The pub hosts live music events and offers a dedicated function room for private bookings and celebrations. During the warmer months, the large beer garden provides a key focal point, a lively outdoor destination with something to appeal to a wide range of customers.

 

The pub benefits from an extensive beer garden with seating for approximately 130 customers, providing an excellent outdoor trading opportunity. Internally, there is a spacious restaurant offering approximately 60–70 covers, together with a fully equipped trade kitchen and customer toilets, all conveniently located on the ground floor.

A separate function room with skittle alley provides an additional facility for private functions, celebrations and group bookings, adding further flexibility to the offering.

The former garage has been converted into a fully operational external kitchen, which works particularly well alongside the garden's coffee shop and ice cream shack, providing opportunities to cater for outdoor customers during busy periods and throughout the warmer months.

The pub's external redecoration is scheduled for completion in early autumn 2026, enhancing the appearance of the premises.

As a town centre pub, the property does not benefit from dedicated customer parking, although its central location provides easy access to the surrounding town centre.

The property benefits from well-presented two-bedroom living accommodation, providing comfortable and practical space that would be well suited to a couple or small family. The accommodation comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and separate lounge, offering a comfortable home alongside the pub.
