The Red Lion is a historic town centre pub with a vibrant evening trade. This pub is in a prime high street location and benefits from a spacious interior, a good size patio and garden, and a large car park. This popular pub is set to benefit from a significant investment scheme and will be available for Summer 2025.
The Red Lion is a historic pub and for many years was the largest and most important licensed house in the Dorset town of Gillingham. It occupies a large site that comprises a main drinking and sports bar at the front of the pub, with a toilet block and cellar in the middle, and a very large games and pool bar to the rear.
There is a good sized enclosed garden and patio and a large car park to the rear that currently has a coin operated barrier for entry and exit. On the first floor, as well as extensive private accommodation, there is an impressive function room area that is currently disused and is available for development in the future.
We are keen to make a major investment on this site to repositon the pub. There is also an adjoining cottage to the pub which is available for sub let or staff accommodation.
