It’s no trade secret that hospitality is on its knees.
And it’s no secret that The Bevy has always struggled to make ends meet.
So if it’s so hard, then why bother?
“Proper little gem of a pub. Pints are cheap, food’s great (when it’s on), and there’s always something going on – kids’ events, disability discos, community lunches, you name it. Just has a really good family atmosphere. Feels more like a big living room than a pub. Love it.”
The Bevy is the only community-owned pub on a housing estate in the UK.
But it is much more than just a pub; it’s an important community centre in an area with few facilities.
What We Do
- Family Thursday – Activities for children followed by a free family dinner.
- Seniors Club – Every Friday, £7 for a home-cooked meal, pudding, tea, coffee, bingo, and a raffle. Regular trips out too.

- Music & Memories Café – Fortnightly sessions with live entertainment for people living with dementia.
- Book Club – A new group for readers to connect and share.
- Brains at the Bevy – University academics giving accessible talks on fascinating subjects.
- Sustainable Food – All our food waste is composted to grow fruit, veg, and flowers for seniors’ meals.
“Myself and my children love attending the Bevy. Always very warm and welcoming, and they have gained some really good friends. It’s like a big family where everyone looks out for each other. I held my daughter’s 3rd birthday here and I couldn’t have asked for a better day. She loved every moment and I’ll be planning more events through you!”
