Property details
Wimborne is a busy market town in East Dorset with a growing population, and over a thousand new homes being built over the next few years. The Oddfellows sits on a side road linking the spectacular Saxon Minster and the Cornmarket, so is ideally located to serve both. The town has a lively sense of community spirit, with several town events leading up to the renowned Wimborne Folk Festival in June, which attracts tens of thousands of people into the area over a long weekend.
The Oddfellows is a well-presented, characterful town centre pub. Believed to be the smallest pub in Dorset, this is an easy-to-operate, low-cost bar operation and offers great accommodation in the desirable and affluent town centre of Wimborne.
The pub has an attractive façade and the interior is compact with wooden floors and a mix of tables and chairs to maximise capacity. The bar is central and services, both guest toilets and the cellar, are easily accessible. This pub is ideal for operators who can attract traditional pubgoers but can also extend the pub's appeal to tourists and a lively weekend crowd.
The domestic accommodation is over two floors and provides a great space in the centre of Wimborne. On the first floor, there is a lounge/dining room and a private kitchen, and above this, there are two double bedrooms, a bathroom/WC and storage. All are in excellent condition.

Trading style
The key to the Oddfellows' success is maintaining consistent trade throughout the day and during the week. Given its compact size, busy Friday and Saturday nights are important, but not essential. The pub attracts a mature crowd through the week and a lively guest base at weekends.
The Oddfellows needs a welcoming, hands-on operator who enjoys the banter of regulars but also embraces visitors wanting a traditional wet-led pub experience. Efficiency is key in being able to run the business on a tight budget, as is a passion for great ales and maximising community spirit.
