| Drunken duck's description below is spot on, but to me all those things add up to a fantastic pub. Amazing beer, shabby but beautiful traditional interior, animals, no phones, friendly folks either side of bar - this place is pretty much perfect. The only down side is if you're not feeling sociable you do feel a bit exposed in the main bar, however you can always sit in the emptier room next door. A 10 without doubt. man_versus_horse - 6 Apr 2008 18:34 |
| Top beer, menagerie, a bit quirky. slerpy - 20 Aug 2007 19:57 |
| The main bar in this pub has been unaltered for ages. There are 3 real ales on at a time including Ringwood 49er and Butcombe. Belgian bottled beers also available. Great for a drink and a bit of conversation. Not ideal if you wish to sit and have a private chat. Can get a bit smoky. Friendly landlord. Great for animal lovers. pxk99 - 6 May 2007 18:12 |
| This pub was the worst of the three pubs I visited in Upwey. Although it is in CAMRA 2007 Good Beer Guide, whiched lived up to it insertion in the Guide. The local beer straight from the cellar was great. And there it ends. There are two Bars we first went in the Lounge - or was it a front Room? - or was it a Zoo? There was Tatty furniture cluttered Bar (we had to move a Train Set to put our Drinks on it). There was also a Mere Cat (I think)in a cage. we quickly went to the other Bar wher one other person was seated at the Bar listening to Radio Four. This Bar had a Well Worn Red carpet and Smoked Stained walls and Ceiling. With various Glasses Hanging from Hooks in the Ceiling. The walls were adorned with old Pictures and stone jars and Books. The house cat seemed well at home on a Bar Stool and I heard there was an Owl in the Rear Garden!!! Again in this small pub everyone could hear your conversation. DO NOT TAKE YOUR MOBILE PHONE HERE!! YOU ARE CHARGED 10p every time it rings!!!! If you want up to date Tourist Information steer well clear - we saw booklets from 1999 and 2003 - a WEE Bit out of date and Dusty. This pub could benifit from a good clean - new carpets and a de-cluttering. Rated 2 for the beer alone - nothing else! Drunken_Duck - 14 Apr 2007 11:07 |
| Must be the smallest pub in Dorset,everybody stared when i walked in but no unpleasantness.A total locals pub but not suprising owing to it's location.Ideal for a quiet pint or chat with the friendly locals but not for a romantic liason as it's impossible to have a conversation without being heard owing to the size of the pub. wurzel - 3 Jun 2006 21:07 |
