The Market House presents a rare chance to run a pub in Dartmouth, one of South Devon’s most popular and picturesque coastal towns. Beautifully maintained and recently refurbished throughout, this well-presented pub benefits from a strong, established core trade with significant potential for growth—particularly through the introduction or expansion of a high-quality food offer.

Dartmouth enjoys a substantial rise in visitors during the summer months and is well known for major annual events such as its celebrated music festival and the Dartmouth Royal Regatta. These seasonal peaks, alongside the town’s year-round tourism appeal, create an excellent platform for a motivated publican to build a thriving business.

Inside, the Market House offers a traditional bar area seating around 20 covers. The space blends character and comfort with wooden flooring, a large gas fireplace, fixed and loose seating, and a dedicated sports area complete with a pool table and darts board. The wooden-panelled bar servery features five cask ale pumps alongside popular international beer brands, catering to a broad customer base.

On the first floor, you’ll find a cosy, well-appointed dining area with a further 20 covers—perfect for intimate meals, Sunday lunches, or small private bookings. The fully equipped trade kitchen is also located on this level and includes a dumb waiter for efficient service to the bar below.

While there are no external trading areas, the Market House’s warm interior, central Dartmouth location, and flexible layout make it a standout pub business opportunity in South Devon. This site is ideally suited to a hands-on publican with strong culinary ambition and a desire to build a welcoming, community-focused venue.
