Property details
The New Inn is a community leased village pub in rural Dorset, just 2 miles from the Jurassic coast and 3 miles from the bustling market town of Bridport. Shipton Gorge is primarily a village of permanent residents, and hence there is a loyal year-round customer base. There are also several holiday lets in the village.
Bridport is a thriving market town with a vibrant artistic scene and is linked to nearby West Bay with its busy harbour. Being a very attractive part of the country there is a significant tourist trade in the surrounding area, with many holiday lets and caravan sites, all offering potential business for a well-run, attractive village pub.
The village is very community-oriented. Locals will volunteer to help with decorating, gardening, general maintenance, and potentially bar work. The pub will benefit from some internal improvements which will be undertaken, before the new tenancy, in the near future.
The pub itself has a bar area with a log burner and an adjacent dining area with 40 covers in total.
Additional outside covered seating and small garden areas provide extra sales opportunities for the warmer months. There is a car park for 4-6 cars and free on-road parking.
Events aimed at locals include monthly quizzes, music evenings, sporting afternoons, hanging basket competitions, and Christmas lunches, all of which are well supported by villagers and tourists alike. As the hub of much village life, the pub also hosts community cafes to fundraise for local charities.
The upstairs accommodation is flexible with two comfortable double en-suite rooms for letting. These could be used as family accommodation if preferred. The tenant's accommodation comprises a room with an ensuite bathroom upstairs at the pub.

Due to its location the pub’s potential is supplemented in the warmer months by numerous tourists. Potential customers include locals from other villages plus cyclists, walkers, holidaymakers from nearby mobile home sites and holiday rentals plus a wider base of customers looking for a friendly local pub with excellent food, real cask ales and accommodation.
The New Inn is in a village location and is now open for the development of both its wet and dry offerings. The successful tenant will be supported by the Management Committee, plus the local village community and tourists during the summer season.
This is the perfect pub opportunity for an experienced, enthusiastic individual or couple with a passion for catering. Most importantly, you will enjoy operating at the heart of the community and love the local area and its people while building long-lasting relationships to maintain the pub’s position as the hub of the community.
