Deputy Manager - West Lulworth

Deputy Manager - The Castle Inn, West Lulworth

In 1978 we shut out the world and made beer. At that time, no one was risking it all starting a traditional brewery, making simple, premium, easy-drinking ale. To do so was an act of defiance. Or madness. Fast forward to today and we’re holding fast to our values and heading off on another exciting journey. This time we’re defying convention by significantly expanding and investing in our diverse and distinctive collection of pubs and inns, with everything from bustling high-street pubs, cosy country inns and beautiful boutique hotels across the south and west of England.

The Castle Inn is a traditional 16th Century thatched pub and inn. Situated near the beautiful Lulworth Cove & Durdle Door on the Jurassic coastline and surrounded by the Isle of Purbeck countryside, it is the perfect spot to start or finish a great walk along the South West coast path.

The Castle Inn is undergoing a transformational refurbishment in 2018, opening before Easter, complete with 12 beautifully restored boutique bedrooms, welcoming new bar and restaurant, but still with all the charm of a “home from home” local pub.
