Let A Pub In Dinnington – The Masons Arms Is Available !
Situated in the heart of the Northumberland village of Dinnington, this traditional community pub enjoys a prime position in the village marketplace. Just a short drive from Newcastle Airport and conveniently located off the main A1 route heading north, the pub benefits from excellent accessibility. The area has seen substantial residential development in recent years, with over 300 new homes completed within the village and a further 300 currently under construction on its outskirts. This rapid growth has significantly boosted the local population, increasing demand for quality hospitality venues and creating an exciting opportunity for a well-positioned community local.
Pub Layout
The Masons Arms boasts a versatile and welcoming layout, perfectly suited to cater to both casual drinkers and diners alike. The pub benefits from two separate entrances—one leading into the main bar area, and the other into the lounge/function room. The main bar features a traditional dark wood bar that serves both sides of the pub. It offers a warm and characterful atmosphere, enhanced by wooden flooring, high stools at the bar, and benched seating running along the wall opposite with large windows allowing plenty of natural light. Low-level tables and chairs, gaming machines and TVs showing live sport complete the picture, making this a classic, welcoming bar area ideal for regulars and sports fans. The lounge/function room offers a softer, more relaxed ambiance, currently used for dining and events. This carpeted space seats approximately 50–60 people, with a mix of benched seating and low-level tables. Again, large windows allow for ample natural light, making it a bright and comfortable environment suitable for private functions, family meals, or community gatherings. To the front of the property, a decked beer garden provides a charming suntrap, perfect for outdoor drinking during warmer months. To the rear, a large car park offers 12 parking spaces, adding convenience for customers and helping support higher-capacity events.

The private accommodation is a beautiful recently refurbished 3 bedroomed flat with separate kitchen, lounge and bathroom.

The Masons Arms is a well-established and ideally located pub at the heart of the growing village of Dinnington. To unlock its full potential, Admiral Taverns are looking for a passionate, community-focused licensee—ideally someone local who understands the unique character of Dinnington and its place within Northumberland. A strong background in catering is essential, given the pub’s successful foundation built on traditional, home-cooked food and a popular Sunday lunch trade. The ideal licensee will pair this with entrepreneurial flair and hospitality experience, bringing new ideas to grow both the food and drink sides of the business. To truly thrive, it requires a clear and consistent weekly rhythm, bold sales-driving initiatives, and an unwavering commitment to exceptional hospitality. The offer should deliver strong value cues to drive footfall while also appealing to the premium market with a carefully curated product mix that enhances the overall guest experience.
