Popular pub, Caffeine & Machine, has been put on the market.

The pub – called The Bowl – is on Ampthill Road, in Houghton Conquest, and first opened in September 2023.

It’s part of a handful of venues in the country which in its own words “worship at the altar of the cult of machine”. Whether it’s your first car, a hyper car or a bike, the group hosts special nights for every petrolhead.

However, according to Sidney Phillips – which specialises is selling public houses, hotels, restaurants – it’s on the market for £1,200,000 freehold and boasts a turnover of £772,739.

The sale includes the pub, restaurant and leisure facility set in five acres.

We have approached Caffeine & Machine, in Houghton Conquest, for an official comment – but two members of staff we spoke to knew nothing of the sale.
