The Dog & Hedgehog is a large 18th-century public house, with a central bar, split level dining area and function space. Overlooking the village green, the pub preserves original charm and character, such as an open fireplace and overhead wooden beams, retaining its quintessential English charm.
Outside, the pub offers two spacious beer gardens with outdoor seating and customer parking.
The Dog & Hedgehog also contains an airy four-bedroom duplex owners’/managers’ apartment above the pub, plus two residential cottages. There is outlined planning in place to create two shepherd hut holiday lets on the land, creating scope for further expansion.
The pub occupies a prominent position in Dadlington, a rural village in Leicestershire with good connections to nearby Hinckley, Market Bosworth and Nuneaton.
The pub was purchased 14 years ago by Sandra MacDonald, who leased it to seasoned hospitality professional Bill Reinking, who had previously managed PJ’s Bar & Grill for two decades.
Sandra commented, “Under Bill’s leadership, ‘The Dog’ has thrived and become a cherished part of village life. We have actively supported local community events, and been proud to hire local residents and youth to join our team, many of whom stayed in touch for years and we remain in contact with today. After 51 years in hospitality, Bill retired in February 2024, shortly after turning 67. We hope the future owners will continue the pub’s community spirit.”
Harry Coughlin, Business Agent at Christie & Co, who is managing the sale and comments: “I am delighted and honoured to be the chosen agent for the sale of The Dog and Hedgehog. This site offers an exciting opportunity for a wide range of potential buyers and I look forward to working with the sellers to find the right owner to take the pub forward,”
The Dog & Hedgehog is being marketed with a freehold asking price of £1,500,000.
