Not sure what pub slerpy went in but it couldn't have been the Raddle! I was in there Friday P.M. when the beer festival had just chucked out. Excellent service, great beer, lovely company even though it was heaving. I didn't eat here but, on the Saturday lunch time I was in plenty of people were eating happily. Definitely a top pub and all the better for no under 14's. 9 out of 10 from me.

Fairly typical real ale pub with mature clientelle and good range of beer

Visited for the first time on Friday 1st October and had to hang around Dorchester waiting for it to open but it was well worth the wait. My wife and I were made to feel most welcome and had a pleasant chat with the bar staff and the lady who seemed to run the kitchen single-handedly.

Both the house beer, Sheep Dip brewed by Plain Ales, and the wonderful "Gold Spice" from Keystone were in excellent condition as was the Butcombe Bitter drunk by my wife.

Food was also excellent and worth the understandable wait - several groups had ordered before we'd even decided to eat - and an hour after opening the pub was heaving and filled with chat and laughter.

Great place.

This was a BIG SHOCK to me! This winner of many awards has really gone downhill, the ales I tried were barely drinkable, the service was slow and the attitude Was "you need us we don't need you !".It is very clear that they have given up on quality and service.Still help is at hand, the nearby Colliton Club had six splendid ales on at £2.30 and lunches at£3.00, this local Council Staff club was terrific,show a CAMRA card or GBG for entry, they are VERY welcoming. As for the Raddle 0/10, in the pub trade people vote with their feet and this place will soon be empty.
