Thimble Inn is a truly exceptional destination pub nestled in the heart of the picturesque Piddle Valley, just a short drive from the historic county town of Dorchester and the dramatic Jurassic Coast.

This iconic, thatched 18th-century pub has a well-established reputation for its high-quality food and inviting atmosphere, attracting both discerning diners and loyal locals. The Thimble Inn has been thoughtfully renovated to a high amenity level, offering a sophisticated and welcoming environment that is ready for a new operator to build upon its success.

The pub provides a substantial trading space with around 80 covers internally and a further 100 covers across its large external dining area, which includes a beautiful garden, stream, bridges, and a spacious paddock. The Thimble Inn also benefits from a very large car park.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced and highly creative operator with a proven track record in a high-volume, quality food environment. We are seeking passionate business owners who are committed to delivering an exceptional customer experience. The tenancy includes two separate, spacious flats above the pub, offering flexible and comfortable living accommodation.

The Thimble Inn is more than just a pub; it’s a cornerstone of the community and a destination in its own right, combining a beautiful setting with a premium offering. If you are a talented and ambitious professional looking for a prestigious tenancy, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Assistance with finance comprising staggered repayments of inventory and opening rental support may be available to the right applicant.
