Gulliver's Tavern in 2009

Gulliver’s Tavern, formerly known as the Dolphin Inn, is a historic pub in the Kinson area of Bournemouth, Dorset, England. Dating from the 18th century, is believed to be the oldest pub in the town.[1]

History

The pub was built in 1750 as a public house and stables known as the Dolphin and Chequer.[2] The tavern stands on Wimborne Road, which historically linked the towns of Wimborne Minster and Christchurch together.[3]

In 1988, it became a Grade II listed building by Historic England.[4] In 1993 the pub was renamed the Gulliver’s Tavern after the local smuggler Sir Isaac Gulliver (1745-1822).[5][6] His ghost has been said to haunt the pub.[7] In 2018, the pub became under new ownership and was reopened as The Acorn.[8]
