Well-established pub in East Lothian coastal town for sale

Operating as a traditional, wet-led public house, the business serves a loyal and consistent local customer base. Internally, the pub is arranged over ground floor spaces, centred around a main bar servery, offering a comfortable and flexible trading environment.

To the rear there is a compact catering area which supports a basic food offering, along with customer WC facilities and storage.

There is also a beer garden offering additional customer seating which is particularly popular during the warmer months.

The Dasher is located on Hawthorn Road, within a well-established residential area of Prestonpans, a popular coastal town of East Lothian. The area benefits from a mix of residential expansion, tourism, and local employment further supporting year-round trade.

The owners’ Colin and Liz Matthews are retiring.
