Could you run this Maiden Newton pub?
Enjoy a warm, cosy, and friendly village pub in beautiful Maiden Newton, Dorset. Locals love its traditional homemade pub grub, great drinks, and cask marque ales to complement. Not to mention the live entertainment evenings when you will host bingo, quiz nights, and occasional live music.
We need a Publican with the character to captivate the locals and visitors to the area alike. You’ll capitalise on the sociability of the pub’s beer garden and a skittle alley that guests can hire as a function room to host gatherings for celebrations.
If you love serving traditional pub grub, real ales, and cider, this is the pub for you. The Chalk & Cheese has a reputation for rustic and tasty pub grub; guests love it because the food is well-priced and comprises locally sourced ingredients.
You’ll operate an open plan trading space with a bar and restaurant area (30 covers). There’s also a catering kitchen and a separate multipurpose function and skittle room with the capacity for 40 covers. Guests enjoy the pub’s Sky Sports and WIFI, and the garden is ideal for whiling away the summer hours.
Ideal Operator
Are you an outgoing community operator? We need you! Someone committed to creating quality food, providing high standards of service to all customers, and showcasing the pub on social media channels.
