| STAYED HERE FROM 23-30 OCT. IT WAS EXCELLANT ALL ROUND ALTHOUGH QUIET LIKE MOST PUB IN THE AREA THIS TIME OF YEAR. fivedaysfiveshirts - 11 Oct 2010 20:06 |
| We visited this pub for lunch and found it spotlessly clean, maybe a bit clinical, and thought it would benefit from some carpeting or drapes to make it more cosy and improve the acoustics. The staff were polite and friendly. Our food was good but rather pricey for a rural Dorset pub - £6 for a dessert is too much. I doubt we will be returning as there are less expensive places to obtain a good meal, which is an important consideration in these recessionary times classic0904 - 5 Sep 2010 17:42 |
| We visited on a Saturday night in January and had a fantastic 3 course meal in the lounge bar, coupled with well kept Doom Bar and Otter Bitter and a good choice of wine. The end bill was a bit lumpy, but overall I have no complaints as the service was brilliantly helpful and the food was spot on - one of those meals you rave about for ages and bore your mates about. An intelligently put together menu that clearly uses local ingredients where possible, with a helpful chef who happily catered for my gluten-free partner which marks it up several notches in our book. That's judging it as a restaurant... as a pub however the lounge bar doesn't quite cut it - just a little bit too cold (literally and decoratively), despite the log burner in the hearth which in the recent cold weather draws me like a magnet to a pub. There are too many reflective stone or painted surfaces . On a previous visit we noted how noisy the restaurant side was with a crowd of diners eating, obtrusively noisy in fact; I understand in a previous decorative setup there was carpet over the flagstone floors - yes the stone looks lovely, but a nice thick rug or two would do wonders for sound absorption as well feeling a bit more homely and, well, 'pub-like'. The other bar got extremely lively later on in the evening, so that must be where the party's at - next time we'll pop in that side for a beer if we're not eating. The landlord and his staff seem well liked in the area and attract people from far and wide, so they're onto a good thing and it's a cut above the average country gastro pub. I'd give it 9/10 for food and 7/10 as a pub lipster - 1 Feb 2010 10:32 |
| Visited on a Friday lunchtime - nice walk there from the station. Place has two bars - the lounge is also the restaurant. Good beer - Doom Bar and Otter, both in good condition. It was as per previous posters comments though no well-off pensioners - just a few other people. using both the bars. Food very nice but perhaps either need to shave back the prices or increase the portions slightly. But still good overall - 8 out of 10. Old_King_Cole - 9 Jan 2009 21:31 |
