Could you run this Church Knowle pub?

Now is an excellent time to take over the New Inn as we are investing in rejuvenating the pub’s interior design and fixtures and fittings. We will enhance the pub’s customer appeal and create a more attractive external area.

Pub and location

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Church Knowle, just outside Wareham, this historic Grade II-listed pub is a charming slice of Dorset’s past. Dating back to the 17th century, the New Inn features traditional rubble stone walls and a classic stone slate roof, giving it a timeless appeal.

Step inside to find a warm and inviting space with two main areas: a cosy bar and a welcoming dining room that can seat around 120 guests. The wooden bar is a focal point, perfect for a casual pint, while the dining room offers a relaxed setting for hearty meals. Large windows let in natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.

Outside, the spacious beer garden is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sun, surrounded by lush greenery. It’s a favourite for locals and visitors looking to unwind and socialise. The pub also has a small, seasonal campsite that can attract guests during summer, adding another layer of charm and appeal.

Church Knowle is a tranquil village known for its traditional Dorset stone cottages and scenic views. Surrounded by rolling hills and stunning countryside, it’s a peaceful retreat with easy access to attractions like Corfe Castle and the Jurassic Coast. The village’s close-knit community and serene atmosphere make it an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

Taking the helm of the New Inn means being part of a historic community while running a well-established, thriving business. It’s more than just a pub; it’s a piece of local heritage that continues to bring joy to visitors and locals alike.
