The Dolphin pub in Newbury secures new tenant

The Dolphin, in the heart of Newbury, has secured seasoned chef Auror Kalivaci and his team as new tenants. 

Kalivaci and his team are eager to infuse their expertise and passion for food into this pub and they aim to create a new dining experience that caters to the diverse tastes of Newbury’s residents and visitors.

Situated in central Newbury, The Dolphin boasts not only a “vibrant atmosphere” but also letting rooms, further enriching its fame as a destination of choice for both locals and travellers. 

Regarding the news, Kalivaci said: “The decision to leave the bustling city life behind and establish roots in Newbury was driven by our collective desire to create something truly special.

“We envision The Dolphin not just as a pub, but as a culinary haven where every dish tells a story and every patron feels like family. I will lean into my Italian roots to help create a new menu which we know the local community will love.”

Outgoing tenant, Ed Turner, said: “It has been an honour to serve the Newbury community, and I am confident that Auror and his team will continue to uphold the traditions of warmth and hospitality that define this beloved pub.”

Tim Widdows, representing Christie and Co, added: “It has been a pleasure working with Ed and Auror throughout this transition. We have full confidence in Auror’s ability to seamlessly integrate into his new role and lead The Dolphin to even greater heights. Here’s to a prosperous future filled with culinary delights and cherished memories.”
