Pub and location
Hardys is a well-known pub on Trinity Street in the lively town centre of Dorchester. It’s filled with tradition and community spirit, making it a favourite spot for locals and visitors. With a prime location and a rich history, this is a fantastic chance for an experienced publican to breathe new life into this iconic venue.
Dorchester, with over 21,000 residents, sees plenty of foot traffic, ensuring a steady flow of customers. The pub is only a 10-minute walk from both Dorchester South and Dorchester West railway stations, making it accessible for everyone.
The pub has a spacious, open layout that welcomes just about anyone.
You can create a family-friendly and dog-friendly environment to attract a loyal community crowd. There’s also great potential for hosting live music, sports events, and other entertainment to draw in diverse clientele.
Hardys has a large, well-equipped kitchen, perfect for launching a tasty traditional pub menu. With the upcoming renovations, you’ll have a unique chance to establish The George as a key social spot in Dorchester, combining its historic roots with a fresh, modern vibe. The design includes a long bar and a layout that provides two main areas: one for entertainment and one for dining.
The flexibility of the space means you can quickly adapt to various events, whether it’s live music, sports, or dining experiences. Plus, there’s a cosy courtyard at the back, ideal for guests to enjoy the outdoors.
