The Portsmouth Hoy is situated in the centre of historic Poole Quay, a vibrant all-year-round community which attracts huge numbers of tourists and day visitors throughout Spring, Summer and Autumn.
The Quay is bustling with bars, restaurants and visitors soaking up the atmosphere, with an everchanging background of yachts, ships and fishing boats. It is the Headquarters of Sunseeker Yachts and the RNLI, and is the launch point of ferry trips to Brownsea Island and other local destinations. Poole Quay hosts numerous events throughout the year particularly during the Summer, including the infamous Harry Paye Pirate Day. Road access is straightforward and the mainline train station is only a short walk away.
This is a great opportunity. Could this be the pub for you?
The Portsmouth Hoy is a stunning pub, brimming with character and known for serving superb quality food and drink. Its location on Poole Quay allows year-round trade to be boosted by huge numbers of visitors with whom the Hoy has a great reputation.
The externals and signage have been quite recently refreshed, and there are a number of tables outside with the opportunity to grow the external presence further.
On entering the pub there is an eclectic mix of comfortable seating and booths, wood cladding and floors, and fascinating bric-a-brac from model ships to diving bell helmets. The bar is situated in the centre of the pub and there is further seating to the rear, which is equally well presented. The well-equipped kitchen and cellar are located at the rear of the pub, with an accessible toilet on the ground floor. There are ladies and gents toilets on the first floor where several storage areas are also situated.
“The Portsmouth Hoy would suit operational hospitality professionals who are passionate about running an iconic pub and serving high quality fresh food, including fresh fish, as well as great ales and wines, in a traditional pub environment.
The ability to flex the offer between regular guests and tourists is key to running this pub successfully, as well as maximising every cover both inside and out.”

FMT is the level of turnover and profit that we believe that the business is capable of delivering if being operated competently. The FMT is usually calculated by the Business Development Partner for the pub to rent, who will produce a shadow profit and loss account for the business which supports the rent. A copy of the shadow profit and loss account will be provided during the recruitment process.
Please see our Code of Practice for more information on FMT and rent. The Fair Maintainable Trade is not a guarantee of levels of trade or profit that will be made from the business – we strongly recommend you seek appropriate independent legal and business advice as part of your Business Plan.
The Full Investment Breakdown for each public house is higher than the minimum investment we will accept. This is because potential Business Partners with the minimum investment available can still be accepted as we are able to offer them financial support for the rest of the monies.
The working capital incorporates the purchase of stock, glassware, loose catering effects and valuer fees – please note the number quoted on this website are based on estimates. The exact costs will be determined on the day you take on the public house by independent valuers and stock takers. Please see our Code of Practice for more information about investment.
