Popped in there last night after narrowly losing to the village team at cricket. Friendly pub, slightly food orientated but a perfectly good pint of St Austell Tribute.

Nice friendly little pub with plenty of banter from the locals. Good choice of beer.

A free house situated at the centre of this nice Dorset village. Make sure to visit the massive chalk giant on the hillside just north of the village to see what the pub is named after. It was very quiet on our Friday lunchtime visit. In fact, we were the only visitors, unlike the Royal Oak across the road which was much more popular. The real ale range was not too inspring - Wadworth Henry's IPA and St Austell Tribute. But the pub was warm and cosy. If I had to choose, I would plump for the Royal Oak. But why not try both?

Now serves food. Great home cooked fare and has retained it's traditional pub atmosphere
|
Now called The Giant Inn. A very traditional pub feel. No food but friendly locals and great real ales. Excellent atmosphere and a roaring log fire. Worth a visit if you're looking for a taste of real village life.

I walked into this pub in an afternon and found a table full of locals making paper mache masks on baloons with some kids. the bar staff no-where to be seen, one of the locals served us and we had a great time. maybe not as 'olde worlde' as the royal oak but a great pub none the less.
