Job description

The White Hart is located in the heart of Wimborne with a large garden and outdoor space.The pub benefits from two bars, one with darts & pool table and then a dining site with approximately 50 covers.

With the introduction of an experienced operator, used to running a locals pub in an affluent town, there's potential to push the wet sales to £6-7k per week if realistically priced with additional food sales if a simple pub food menu were to be introduced. A w eekly rhythm of the week with Pool, Darts, Quiz, Bingo etc would all also help support additional growth.

We are ideally looking for operators that are used to the quirks of listed pubs and know how to actively market the White Hart to drive in new customers.

The pub is turning over approximately £5000 per week on a 80 / 20 wet lead split. There is potential to increase sales if the business is driven and grown in the right way with the right operators.

The accommodation comprises of 3 bedrooms.
