Property details
Now is the perfect time to step in and take charge of Hardys, soon to be renamed “The George.” This beloved pub is getting a stunning makeover, including new signage, fresh colours, and an inviting atmosphere to attract even more customers. As part of the renovation, the landlords are bringing back the front centre doors that have been closed for years. Plus, they are creating a cosy porch area with two doors to improve the flow of the pub.
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.
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.
The private accommodation consists of three bedrooms, a kitchen, and a lounge making it a convenient place to live and work.

Trading style
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.
The landlords are looking for a skilled and passionate operator to take this opportunity to new heights. You should have a track record of successful marketing campaigns to keep the business thriving. Experience running a sports and music pub would be a plus, but most important is your love for crafting a delicious pub food menu.
