An excellent pub in all regards. Friendly welcome, great beers from the barrel (Doom plus a couple of local ales) and top-notch food (not cheap but worth the money). Hopefully it goes to show that a well-run pub can thrive in today's economic climate.

This place has been on my places to visit list quite sometime. The miniscule hamlet of Plush, with it's thatched roofs and a Dorset pleasure. The Brace of Pheasants turned out to be all it says a quaint very old pub, spotlessly clean. I looked in on the 4 double bed accomodation at the rear, better than some hotels I'd stayed in and, at £90 a night a steal for this area. I sampled the Copper Ale and, the Flaxted Manor both from the barrel and clear as a bell and very tasty. The food is restauarant prices but, then again it's of restaurant quality and, worth every penny. The service by the 3 nice ladies was spot on, doing everything from pulling pints to clearing tables etc. Tables were already booked on my arrival and, a steady stream of clientele appeared untill 1pm when it exploded into almost full capacity the beer garden also. A very pleasing and friendly atmosphere was the order of the day, which made for an excellent day out if your an Aler or Foodie or both like me, you've gotta go here.

Really surprised at previous reviews. Eaten here twice recently, both times at the weekend and both times the service and food was fantastic. Great menu, all food fresh and cooked to perfection- great fish and chips. Superb selection of ales and ciders- shame you need a car to get to it. Staff very helpful, but it does get really busy- probably best to book ahead. Big beer garden and accommodation looks nice too. Give it another try- we intend to visit more often.

I visited this pub on Sat 24th for a quick lunch time bite to eat. I ordered the sausage baguette at £6. I was pretty disapointed to say the least! The baguette contained one sausage - yes one sausage! It was a pretty poor quality sausage to say the least, and just cut length ways so that it went along the length of the baguette. That was it, no side salad, no crisps etc. etc.
If I served that up and charged someone £6 I would be embarrassed!
NOT RECOMMENDED!

Of the 10 Dorset pubs we tried yesterday, this was probably the second best. We sat in the inglenook fireplace and enjoyed a swift half whilst most around us were dining. The pub is in an idyllic location. The welcome was friendly. Two real ales were on - Palmers Copper Ale and Sharps Doom Bar. Cider is Stowford Press. The menu looked interesting. But we weren't hungry enough to try anything.
