St Austell Brewery makes first pub purchase in Dorset
Pub operator and brewer St Austell has announced the acquisition of the Rock Point Inn in Lyme Regis – the company’s first site in Dorset.
As part of the deal, the Rock Point and Cobb Fish Bar complex will become part of St Austell Brewery’s estate of west country pubs, inns and hotels having been under the same owners since 1984.
Following the deal’s completion, St Austell Brewery’s property director Adam Luck commented: “We’re grateful to Gail Caddy, the previous owner of the Rock Point, for helping make the transfer of ownership such a smooth one and we wish her every success with her next ventures.”
The Rock Point Inn will remain closed to allow for a complete restoration and refurbishment project to give the historic building, part of which is Grade II listed, a new lease of life.
