Dorchester is getting its tastebuds in gear as renowned South West bar and restaurant, Hub Box, will be opening its first ever Dorset establishment in early October.
Hub Box has seen demand soar for its premium burgers and eclectic drinks selection across existing sites over the past year, inspiring the company to broaden its horizons and find a new home in the heart of Brewery Square. Its new 120-seat Dorchester restaurant will serve up an acclaimed offering of gourmet burgers, hand-cut fries, cocktails, and craft beers, all served with a smile.
The company champions seasonality and provenance, sourcing ingredients across the region including grass-fed moorland beef from Launceston-based butcher Philip Warren, and free-range chicken from Castlemead Poultry in Radstock. Staple dishes at Dorchester Hub Box will include its award-winning Big Kahuna Burger, buttermilk-fried chicken Dirty Disco burger, and delicious hot dogs from Rare and Pasture; an artisan, organic charcuterie and smokery, plus a range of plant-based and meat-free alternatives.
With indoor and outdoor dining spaces and a dedicated bar area, the design and décor will emulate Hub Box’s signature unique style. The design will celebrate South West coastal and surf culture with a modern and spirited feel, while also giving a nod to the site’s rich 19th century architecture and heritage as a former brewery. In-keeping with Brewery Square’s regular showcase of Dorset talent, the restaurant décor will feature the work of local suppliers, as well as focus on sustainability with reclaimed materials.
