Property details
The St Peter’s Finger sits in the centre of Lytchett Minster, a busy village on the edge of Poole Bay. To begin with, the village offers plenty of amenities, including an active sports ground, a rugby club, and several holiday parks that significantly boost the local population. In addition, visitors can explore Lychett Fields, a major RSPB wetland reserve, enjoy events at Upton Park, and spend time at Farmer Palmers Farm Park. Furthermore, the village hosts the Harbour View Crematorium, which regularly accommodates associated wakes. Finally, the pub is easily accessible via the A35 and by rail, with Hamworthy station nearby.
Guests enter through a large paved courtyard that leads directly to the heart of the trading area. To the right, the main bar offers 24 dining covers in a light, airy setting. Furthermore, the bar area combines high tables with a relaxed lounge featuring a wood-burning stove. Meanwhile, the main dining area offers 96 covers with a functional mix of benches, fixed seating, and tables, all creating a vibrant atmosphere. Additionally, traditional touches—including a second wood-burning stove and a mix of wooden and stone flooring—add character to the surroundings. Adjacent to the bar, high-quality guest toilets ensure convenience, while a well-fitted, high-capacity kitchen guarantees smooth peak service.
Outside, three separate drinking and eating spaces further enhance the experience, bringing total covers to nearly 300.
The private accommodation is entered from within the pub. It consists of two double bedrooms, a lounge, bathroom/wc and kitchenette. The lounge can be converted into a further bedroom if required.

Experienced Operator
Trading style
St Peter's Finger is a large-scale, food-led pub that serves as a vibrant village hub while also attracting visitors from surrounding areas and holidaymakers. Moreover, the pub boasts a beautifully finished interior and exterior, featuring top-quality fixtures and fittings, many of which were replaced in 2024.
Previously, the landlords managed the pub for several years and built a strong reputation for high standards. Now, the site offers an entrepreneurial operator the chance to flex the operating model and fully realise the potential of its plentiful local and tourist trade.
The ideal applicant will have great hospitality experience in high-volume businesses where managing and motivating a team is crucial. The business has a strong bar and food trade, so the ability to create repeat business is key alongside the development of effective campaigns to attract those visiting the area.
