Property Description

The Dog and Crook is a fantastic destination pub situated in the rural hamlet of Brambridge in Eastleigh, Hampshire. The pub resides on a main road just outside of Colden Common village and benefits very well from passing trade with schools in the area, a good road network to the M27 and the M3 motorway and local charms including The River Itchen and Brambridge Garden Centre. The pub has a great reputation for its fantastic home cooked food offer with plenty of seating for guests in the bar, restaurant, terraced area and beer garden. The added bonus to this property is the outside bar which can be used throughout the year for private events or during busy periods as an additional revenue stream. Stonegate Pub Partners are now looking for a new starter or a publican with food experience who can continue and grow the already well-established food offer. The Dog and Crook already trades in a very competitive area, so it is key that the new publican finds their place in the market in order to maximise trade and stand out from the crowd.

Private Accommodation: The private accommodation is well presented and in very good condition comprising of three double bedrooms, a large lounge area, fitted kitchen and a bathroom with a shower and bath.

Trading Style

Indoor trading area

On entrance to the pub you are welcomed by a large wraparound bar in the middle of the property which offers seating either side for drinking and dining. There is a more structured area for seating in the restaurant area which features a cosy fire place, allowing guests to enjoy a delicious home cooked meal in a more formal setting. The décor is traditional with a modern twist offering guests a home from home environment, with a total of 20 covers for dining throughout in both the bar and restaurant. Located behind the bar is the spacious and fully fitted allowing the publican to offer a high quality and traditional pub food menu.

Outdoor trading area

Externally there is a covered terraced area which leads out to the beer garden which is laid out for 30 covers, there is an additional lawned area with outdoor seating offering a further 30 covers for guests to drink and dine alfresco. There is a converted shed located at the top of the beer garden which has been transformed into an outdoor bar that is not currently in use but could be utilised for events or during busy times throughout the year. There is a decent size car park to the front of the property which is lined and has space for up to 30 spaces.

Regional Manager Comments

The Dog and Crook is a rural destination pub that has a great reputation for its high-quality home cooked meals. The pub resides on a main road into Colden Common village with surrounding of local’s schools and residential housing. The River Itchen and a very popular garden centre are also located a short distance away allowing the pub to benefit very well from passing trade. I am now seeking a new starter or a publican who has previous experience of working with food to continue the high standards of catering and to develop the pub menu to stand out from the competitors in the local area.
