The Dolphin Inn, Kingsbridge - Punch Pubs

Could you run this Kingston pub?

The Dolphin, in Kingston is a picturesque 16th century village pub that sits nearby the local village hall and village church. This beautiful listed building is split across a small lane with the pub & kitchen on one side of the road and the cellar, toilets, landlords flat and letting business on the opposite side. Above the trading area is a second kitchen, office, linen room and storage area.

The pub is set in an ideal location, close to the beach and is in general a great stopping point along the South West coastal path. The site is frequently occupied by local residents and visitors and is known locally for hosting events, theme nights, quizzes and offering great Cask Marque ales.

The pub has beamed ceilings and stone walls offering a homely environment and some excellent facilities. There is parking for up to 12 cars. The internal space offers an open plan trading room with the bar running against the wall and the kitchen behind that. The main room offers a seating area at the front of the bar and two cosy clusters of seating at either end of the bar each with a feature inglenook fireplace, making the pub a warm and welcoming space for a drink on cooler days. There is also a kitchen serving around 30 covers and WIFI.

The pub also offers three en-suite letting rooms situated opposite the pub. We have plans in place to refresh the decor and make them an ideal spot for a weekend away.
