Property details
The Mermaid is situated in Sherborne, Dorset which is without a doubt one of the most beautiful towns in England. With an abundance of medieval buildings, a superb Abbey, world-famous schools, two castles, and more, Sherborne has something to offer all of those who visit. Sherborne is a busy business and market town for many of the surrounding hamlets, yet still remains small and specialist with a shopping centre showcasing a large choice of handcrafted and local goods. Ideally located on the Dorset and Somerset border it has excellent transport links enabling the town to flourish all year round and for people to marvel at and explore the beauty that is the un-spoilt Wessex area of Dorset. Sherborne has a population of approximately ten thousand.
The pub has a fully stocked public bar to the right on entering the main entrance and a separate restaurant to the left with double doors leading out to the garden. Off from the restaurant, there is a fully equipped trade kitchen. From the public bar, you can access the toilets, Skittle Alley, and the garden. The stairs go up to a large first-floor function room available for those special occasions such as christening parties, wakes, birthdays, and wedding anniversaries.
There is a large beer garden to the rear of the pub with outdoor furniture which is ideal on those sunny days when out exploring with the family. Just off of the garden is a large car park for circa twenty cars.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, lounge, and office space.

Trading style
The pub has been well supported by locals and visitors with strong wet sales and currently has a traditional pub menu offer. The wet and dry split is approx. 70% wet and 30% food. There is a good range of lagers, real ales, and cider. The main bar is perfect for watching sports, and playing pub sports and has an attractive light and airy feel to it. The restaurant is also very well refurbished with comfortable tables and chairs to enjoy a meal. The garden is great for families on sunny days and with its patio and grassed areas, lends itself to alfresco dining during the summer months.
The Mermaid will require an experienced applicant who can passionately and creatively build on the existing income streams in terms of food, drink, events, and functions to make the most of this fantastic facility. The pub deserves to be family-friendly and the real ‘hub’ of the local community. Food will play an important part in the success of the pub along with engaging with the locals to promote pub teams, sports, and events.
