Property details
The White Hart is a large semi-detached pub in the heart of Midsomer Norton in the town centre. Rumoured to be the best-preserved coal mining town in England as well as inspiration for the name of the long-running television series Midsomer Murders. Midsomer Norton has boomed since the 1700s and this history can be found at the Midsomer Norton Museum. The town and area attract visitors for walking or cycling. The Midsomer Norton Farmers’ Market is hosted on each first Saturday of the month on the high street - perfect for local meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, and cheeses. There are many green spaces surrounded by shops right in the middle of the high street. The popular Somerset and Dorset Railway, a heritage trust line run by volunteers that are being lovingly restored, brings in many tourists. The local population is approximately twelve thousand and has an equal spread of age distribution.
The White Hart is built of local stone with a traditional public bar layout, well supported by the locals with an open fire and fully stocked bar. There is a trading snug room off the bar and a much larger lounge bar with another fully stocked bar servery. The entrance lobby has an old settle and jug and bottle hatch. The well-equipped trade kitchen is located on the ground floor and the kitchen feeds the lounge bar area.
The lounge bar leads out to a small courtyard garden area with six outside tables. At the front of the pub, there are some outside tables to sit out and watch over the town.
The private accommodation consists of a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and three good-sized bedrooms.

Trading style
The public bar seats approx. 20 covers, the snug, 16, and the lounge bar 25. At present, the pub trades with wet sales only, and this trade is very strong with some excellent barrelage figures. There is real scope to introduce a traditional pub food offer and this is supported by a trade kitchen to deliver this well. With the enhancement of pub teams and entertainment, there is a real opportunity to further increase trade. There is a good cask ale range as well as interesting ciders on offer. The décor, fixtures & fittings are of a very traditional style befitting the nature and character of the pub, and its traditional look and feel make this an immensely popular pub in the town.
The landlords are looking for an experienced publican who understands the area well. You must be passionate about retail standards, have a love of community life, and have the ability to look after and grow the local trade opportunity. A passion for real ale and ciders is a must.
The White Hart is a fantastic traditional pub loved by the local clientele. This traditional-looking pub and great community offer is well established and could be further improved by the introduction of food to complement an already popular business. The landlords are seeking a superb operator who thrives on this style of trading.
