The Old Thatch pub in Wimborne won Dorset Pub of the Year 2025 for food, service, and hospitality impact.
The Old Thatch, a thatched pub in Wimborne, has been named Dorset Pub of the Year at the 2025 Dorset Tourism Awards, recognized for its food, service, and contributions to the region’s hospitality.
Part of the Fired Up Collective led by Andy Lennox, the pub previously earned top-five status among the UK’s Best Family Pubs and won Best Dining Experience at the DMB Awards 2024.
The collective operates several venues in Dorset and Hampshire, with a new Thai restaurant, NUSARA, set to open in 2026.
MP Vikki Slade praised the win, calling it well deserved and highlighting the hospitality sector’s importance amid over 200 pub closures in the first half of 2025, urging policy reforms to address rising business costs.
