A PUB in Stow-on-the-Wold is set for a full revamp after being snapped up by new owners.

The Bell Inn on Park Street has been sold to Sue Hawkins and her niece Rachel, who have been revamping pubs in locations including Stratford-on-Avon and Shipston-on-Sour for a number of years.

Sue, who has been in the pub and hotel trade for more than 20 years, said they planned to start work on the refurbishment at the start of October and hoped to be finished by the end of January 2013.

“Our ethos is to put the customer first at all times – locals first with tourists the icing on the cake,” she said.

Peter Brunt, hotels director with Colliers International, the company tasked with marketing the pub, said he was excited to see how The Bell would benefit from Sue and Rachel’s expertise in revamping pubs.

“I am confident Sue and Rachel will bring the same superb eye for detail and custom as they have at their other pubs and am looking forward to seeing what they make of The Bell,” he said.
