The Full Story
About The Bold
The Bold Dragoon has been in the heart of Weston Favell village for over 150 years. A Henry Clark kept a beer house in the 1860's, he was fined in 1863 for 'unjust measures' which meant he was short serving his customers, the landlords of the other two Weston Favell pubs (Horseshoe and Trumpet) were both found guilty as well, cunning swines...
The earliest mention of the pub by 'name' was in 1870 when it was run by Henry Knight, a long serving landlord who used to grow and sell his Victoria Plums for many years.
The Bold Dragoon has had many owners over the years with the addition of the restaurant conservatory in the 1990’s being the largest renovation the pub had seen for decades but that’s how it stayed for many years, welcoming 1000’s of guests it really started to show its age.
Fast forward to 2022 where three long time friends, Mark, Russ & Ian were presented with the opportunity to fulfil a lifelong ambition to purchase their local and with so much care and with 35 years of first hand understanding of the ambiance and atmosphere of the pub they set about a major transformation starting with the front bar, the lounge bar and the amenities to such a high quality and with such attention to detail igniting an excitement for what was to come with the restaurant transformation in both the staff and the customers and the result of that commitment is what you see before you today.
Mark, Russell, Ian & all of the staff would like to welcome you to the Bold Dragoon
