Back in June, Andy Lennox and the team at independent hospitality group Fired Up Collective were hinting at more to come – and they’re already off to a strong start with the acquisition of the iconic Goods Yard in the heart of Broadstone.
The new venue is set to welcome patrons at the end of September as ‘the go-to destination for locals seeking a memorable experience’.
With their latest project, the collective has set out to put a contemporary spin on the classic pub experience and embrace the rustic charm of the location – an approach which has gone down very well at their flagship Wimborne establishment, The Old Thatch.
Andy said: “We’re thrilled to launch The Goods Yard as a little sister to our beloved pub in Wimborne”, said Andy.
“Our vision is to create a welcoming space that embraces the essence of traditional pubs while offering a unique and elevated experience for our patrons.
“We look forward to becoming an integral part of the Broadstone community.”
As well as an extensive list of craft beers, wines and cocktails, The Goods Yard will be serving up a rotating menu with plenty of local and seasonal produce, courtesy of Executive Chef Jon Newing.
Andy and co. are also keen to celebrate local talent as they look to host regular events, live music performances and themed evenings.
It’s welcome news for Councillor Vikki Slade, Leader of BCP Council and a Broadstone local herself.
She added: “The Goods Yard Pub is a fantastic addition to our local scene.”
“Fired Up Collective’s dedication to quality and community engagement, as exemplified by The Old Thatch in Wimborne, aligns perfectly with our town’s values.
“We eagerly anticipate the positive impact this establishment will have on our area.”
The collective has only been around since 2020, but with the addition of The Goods Yard already bringing their portfolio of venues up to seven, there could be more on the cards in the near future.
