Lovely location and sweet, polite waiting staff BUT "sizzling tiger prawns" were hockey pucks swimming in chilli soup - inedible. Main course was average made poorer by strange, bland vegetables (who decided that it was a good idea to boil the tough green leaves of a leek and serve the result as a main vegetable?). Pavlova was white mush with red sauce and a raspberry- no evidence of texture apart from the pips. What a shame..and a waste of a birthday "treat". Not so long ago the food was great so did I just hit an unfortunate night? I hope so...

My family and i visited this pub today and in my opinion the food was horrible, the jacket potato was burnt, they forgot to put a filling on it, congealed beans, cold chips,ham that looked like it had been hacked and liver that wasn't cooked properly. All in all very disappointing and we weren't the only ones to be complaining either and our comments were dealt with by a very rude man who wouldn't accept our views. Awful.

This is a beautiful pub in a stunning little Dorset village, not far from the main road, and well worth the effort.
It's an old building next to the millstream - a very quaint atmosphere. The food is excellent. We ate in the cosy restaurant, where the menu included Seafood Tagliatelle, local Venison, and other interesting dishes. The bar menu was more traditional "pub food", but all home-cooked, with a good choice.
Really friendly too.

We came to the area to visit Monkey World and stumbled upon this little gem. The food was excellent and the ale very good - in our native Yorkshire you have to book a fortnight in advance to eat in the only pub/restaurant of this quality.
Pleasant staff and comfortable relaxing atmosphere.
Great location - worth getting off the beatne track to find.

I spent last week on holiday with my wife & 2 children in the Weymouth area. We ate in various pubs. We returned to eat in The Springhead on our last night - it was the best we had experienced in area.

Beautiful location and friendly, efficient service.

Good quality bar and childrens menu. Ate from the restaurant menu on our second visit - my venison was excellent and my wife thoroughly enjoyed the seafood.
