Six Bells, Brentford

The Six Bells is an impressively large stand-alone building which has been kept very sympathetically with it’s traditional style and ‘London Pub’ look. Located in the suburban town of Brentford in the South-West of London, the pub is found just off of the main River Brent, nestled between a sprawling residential area and multiple industrial and commercial units. Just half a mile from Brentford Train Station and a stones throw from the up and coming redeveloped area of Brentford Docks, the pub sits comfortably within the regeneration area of the town and with around 15,000 residents, the demographics of the area are generally very good. Brentford also has a very popular football club which is well supported by locals and visitors, and match days are a bustling hive of activity in and around the stadium and the nearby hotels.

Pub Layout

There are two main doors to the front of the pub, one at either end. They both open up into the main trading space of the pub which is dominated by a large, L-shaped, bar servery. With beautiful high ceilings and lots of traditional features, the pub has a lot of charm and personality and this has been taken into account with the simple and traditional décor. Infront of and to the right of the bar you will find predominantly low level seating and a cosy fire place, popular in the winter months. This area leads around to the rear of the property with access to the toilets and a sun trap courtyard garden space with plenty of tables and chairs for customers to enjoy al fresco drinking and dining. Around to the left of the bar, there is also another trade space which can be utilised as further general seating or can be sectioned off to create a versatile function/private dining area with it’s own, personal external courtyard to the rear.

The Six Bells has a very good daytime trade, welcoming a mixture of locals & regulars for food and drinks. With food being served from midday daily, the pub is a popular spot for residents, shoppers and workers to pop in for a pint and a bite of traditional pub grub food that is cooked well and at a reasonable price..
There is also an element of natural passing foot trade at the site, due to it’s location near to the canal. The evenings at the Six Bells, involves quiz nights, pub games and various options of live music at the weekends.
