The Kings Head is a traditional 16th‑century pub, believed to be the oldest operating pub in Poole—a venue overflowing with charm, heritage, and community spirit. Located at 6 High Street, it sits just one street back from Poole Quay, the town’s bustling harbourside hub with views across to Brownsea Island.

Poole is a vibrant coastal town on the Dorset coast, famous for:

Its historic quay
Beautiful natural harbour
Strong tourism
A lively high street and dining scene

The Kings Head’s High Street location gives it excellent footfall, close to shops, local businesses, Poole Quay events, and major attractions—making it a prime site for a dynamic operator.

An exciting opportunity has become available to take on the Kings Head, which will be launching under the Unity Social brand.

The Kings Head will undergo a full refurbishment to include external upgrade and new signage, full internal redecoration, and fantastic AV to help with providing the very best sports coverage and music-led events.

The pub will have a great drinks range that will be priced below our local competitors and run a daily program of pub-activity, including live music, karaoke, quiz, and bingo.
