As many of you will already know, The Dolphin is moving into a new era, and with that comes some changes.
Yesterday, I was genuinely touched to receive such a lovely card and gift from the guests of Botley Neighbourcare. Your kind words, thoughtful messages and generosity meant more to me than you could ever imagine. Thank you all so very much. ❤️
But I want to reassure everyone of one thing — I'm not going anywhere just yet! 😊
I very much hope to continue seeing all those familiar faces, friends and wonderful customers who have made The Dolphin such a special place over the years.
Myself and the whole team absolutely love being part of this wonderful Botley village and its fantastic community. It's so much more than just a pub to us.
I would also like to say a heartfelt thank you to Wadworth for giving me the opportunity to continue being part of the pub and village that I have grown to love so much.
The Dolphin may be entering a new chapter, but the friendships, laughter and community spirit that make it special will always remain.
Thank you all for your continued friendship, kindness and support.
With love and very best wishes,
Steve ❤️🍻
