The White Lion presents an exceptional opportunity for an enthusiastic operator to take on a well-positioned, characterful pub in the heart of Bridport. Boasting a prime location with several hundred houses under construction nearby, this traditional pub with a modern look and feel offers strong footfall from both local trade and visitors alike.

The white lion currently trades as a classic wet-led pub with real scope to develop a food offer. The fully fitted commercial kitchen is a major asset and presents an excellent opportunity for a new operator to introduce a simple but high-quality food menu to complement the strong drinks trade. With 45 internal covers and a further 50 in Bridport’s only lawned beer garden, there’s plenty of scope to drive daytime and evening trade.

Inside, the pub benefits from a warm and welcoming feel, with a well-maintained bar area, and flexible seating throughout. Outside, the well-kept garden is a customer favourite, ideal for relaxed dining or drinks in the sun.

Upstairs, spacious and comfortable live-in accommodation makes this an ideal proposition for a hands-on operator or couple looking to immerse themselves in the business.

We are looking for a passionate business owner with strong retail standards and a flair for community engagement. With its enviable location, generous space, and untapped food potential, The White Lion is ready for its next chapter – could you be the one to write it?
